Hamas fighters 'took "poor man's cocaine" drug called Captagon to boost their alertness and make them feel invincible before Israel massacre'
- Captagon pills have been found on many fighters' bodies
- A video has emerged showing small bags of a white substance on the seat of a pick-up truck belonging to Hamas fighters

Hamas terrorists have been using an illicit substance, nicknamed 'the poor man's cocaine', to 'feel invincible' and feel calmness and indifference while murdering Israelis.
Israeli news site, Channel 12, reported that Captagon pills had been seized from Hamas prisoners and found with many of the bodies of dead fighters.
The terrorists had taken the drug to commit the inhuman murders during the October 7 attack on Israel.
More than 1,400 people were killed in the attack when Hamas launched thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip and sent hundreds of fighters across the border.
The pill is mainly produced and trafficked by groups tied to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (pictured) and Lebanese ally Hezbollah

Ghastly atrocities have since been reported, including decapitated babies, children found with knives stuck in their bodies and people being burnt alive.
As the details of the atrocities committed by Hamas surface, the new reports suggest some terrorists were fueled by the drug, and used it to stay awake and feel a rush of 'euphoria'.
A video has emerged on X, formerly Twitter, showing bags of a white powder in the back of a Hamas-linked vehicle.
The video is captioned: 'Documentation taken by a friend of mine in the surrounding settlements: the terrorists arrived with bags of cocaine to fuel their satanic urge.'
Captagon is a highly addictive amphetamine-like drug that has plagued the Middle East in recent years - it has been taken by terrorists who say it gives them a feeling of invincibility on the frontlines.
It was first produced in Germany in the 1960s to treat attention deficit disorders, narcolepsy and other conditions.
It was discontinued, but an illicit version of the drug was made in eastern Europe and then in the Arab region and it has now grown into a multi-billion dollar illegal market.

The illicit version - also nicknamed the 'the drug of jihad' - is thought to be made of a mix of fenethylline, caffeine and other fillers - it generates focus and staves off sleep and hunger.
In an interview with the BBC in 2015, Captagon users described how the drug made them feel.
One said: 'I felt like I own the world. Like I have power nobody has.'
Another said: 'There was no fear anymore after I took Captagon'.
The drug has been given to terrorists in neighboring countries to give them energy to keep killing and to overcome their nerves.
It is not just used by soldiers, it is used recreationally and by people with physically demanding jobs across the Arab states.
The vast majority of Captagon is produced in Syria with a smaller production operation in Lebanon.
Millions of pills have been smuggled out of Syria into neighboring countries.
