Syrian Rebels Seize Maher Assad's Captagon Facility in Damascus
Dec 11, 2024, 02:49 PM
Syrian rebels have seized one of the largest Captagon drug production facilities in Syria, previously operated by Maher Assad, the brother of former Syrian President Bashar Assad. The facility, located in the outskirts of Damascus, was part of a network that generated billions annually for the Assad regime, Hezbollah, and Hamas. The drug, widely used by ISIS fighters, has been a significant revenue source for these groups. Footage and reports indicate that locals are actively destroying the Captagon stockpiles found in the factories and warehouses linked to Maher Assad.
