The Hamas terrorists were under the influence of the drug Captagon. What is it and what are its effects?

The terrorists who carried out the massacre in southern Israel during the October 7 attack were apparently under the influence of Captagon, the so-called ISIS drug. This was announced by the Israeli television Channel 12.
Some of the Hamas commandos who carried out the massacre in southern Israel near the Gaza Strip on October 7 were apparently under the influence of drugs. Specifically, a synthetic drug known as Captagon.
What is Captagon?
Captagon is the trade name of a stimulant drug whose active ingredient is phenethylline, a chemical substance that acts primarily on the central nervous system. Phenetyline was originally developed to treat narcolepsy and hyperactivity, but over the years it has been produced illegally and used as a drug.
Origin and distribution
Captagon has become famous for its spread in the Middle East, especially in countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. However, its production and consumption are not limited to this region, as it has also appeared in other parts of the world. The production of Captagon is often done in clandestine laboratories, and the exact methods vary from country to country. These illegal manufacturing laboratories often operate in the shadows, making it difficult to trace the origin of this substance.
Effects of Captagon
Captagon is known for its stimulating effects on the central nervous system. Those who consume it report an increase in energy, alertness and concentration. It is often accompanied by a feeling of euphoria and reduced fatigue. These effects can lead people to consume it as a recreational substance, especially in party settings or to endure long hours at work. However, Captagon also has a number of negative side effects, including anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, increased heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, prolonged consumption of Captagon can lead to dependence, which can be physical and psychological.
Captagon and its Connection with Jihadism
A particularly troubling aspect about Captagon is its involvement in activities related to jihadism and terrorism. In the past, it has emerged that terrorist groups active in the Middle East region, such as the Islamic State (ISIS), have used Captagon trafficking as a source of funding. These groups have exploited the clandestine market of this drug to obtain large profits, enabling them to finance their activities and increase military capacity.
The consumption of Captagon by fighters has further implications, as the drug can increase energy and stamina, making fighters more aggressive and less fatigued. This has been a worrying factor for both the security forces and the health of the fighters themselves, as prolonged consumption of this substance can have negative effects on mental and physical health. It is a complex problem that requires international cooperation to address the trafficking networks and prevent the involvement of this drug in terrorist activities.
