Jerusalem, 2 February, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli authorities thwarted an attempt to smuggle approximately half a liter of the date rape drug GBL through Ben Gurion Airport, officials said. The shipment, imported from the United States via a third country to obscure its origin, was intercepted during enhanced inspections of air courier deliveries by Customs drug investigators working with airport police.
The substance was intended for two customers in Central Israel. Two suspects were arrested for questioning, and the seized material was transferred for forensic examination.
