Gaza anti-narcotics police set an ambush for a dealer in Khan Younis governorate and arrested a man identified only as M.A.[1] Officers caught M.A. in Khan Younis with one slab of hashish in his possession.[1] During his initial questioning, he said he had bought hashish slabs from people in Rafah city.[1]

Acting on that statement, police set a second ambush for the Rafah sellers and seized three more hashish slabs in Rafah governorate.[1] The operation therefore accounted for four slabs in total, one seized in Khan Younis and three seized in Rafah.[1] Farsh, plural furush, is the unit the report uses for slabs or parcels of hashish.[1]

Police kept the seized quantity and detained the accused to complete the legal procedures against them.[1] The report names no charges and gives no court outcome, saying only that the accused remained detained for completion of the procedures.[1]
