Israeli police exposed a massive drug lab in Tulkarm, a city in the Palestinian Authority controlled territories.
Early Friday morning, a large force of Israeli policemen and soldiers surrounded a house in the city, and after entering discovered a large marijuana production plant. The drugs were to be distributed in the Sharon area in Israel. The lab was run by Arab residents of Taiba.
Police were made aware of the lab after arresting several drug dealers involved in the distribution of drugs that were produced at the location.
A police spokesperson explained that Tulkarm was chosen as a site for the drug lab because it is not easily accessible to Israeli police.
