Bloodthirsty Hamas terrorists were high on a powerful stimulant dubbed “poor man’s cocaine” when they launched their surprise attack on Israel, according to a report.
Pills of the drug Captagon — a synthetic, amphetamine-type stimulant — were found in the pockets of dead or captured terrorists after they invaded the Jewish state on Oct. 7, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.
Captagon was first produced in Germany in the 1960s to help treat attention-deficit disorders, narcolepsy and depression. A witness described the terrorists as having “crazy joy in their eyes, like they were high on something” while they carried out their assault in Kibbutz Be’eri and took hostages.
