The seized items included 114 cases involving narcotics such as hashish, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, Captagon pills and other drugs, in addition to 437 cases of other prohibited materials. Customs officials also foiled attempts to smuggle 1,950 items of tobacco and tobacco derivatives, along with 10 cases involving undeclared cash and three cases related to weapons and their accessories.
