During the inspection, customs inspectors and the 747th detective unit of the Ben Gurion Airport area located a suitcase containing a dangerous ketamine drug, weighing about 11 kilograms, which was hidden in a double wall in order to smuggle them into Israel, trade them and distribute them to the public.
The passenger was detained for interrogation at the central unit in the Negev region of the Southern District, during which the investigators managed to collect evidence and trace another suspect, a resident of Netivot, who was suspected of being the passenger's partner and was directly involved in smuggling the drugs and attempting to smuggle them into Israel.

The ketamine drug is a dangerous drug known as the "rape drug", which has severe effects on the body and mind. The thwarting of smuggling and the criminal investigation that was opened prevented its dissemination in public and the possibility of its use against innocent victims and the commission of serious sexual offenses.
The suspects, in their 20s, were detained for questioning at the Negev Magistrate's Court, and tomorrow a hearing will be held in the Beer Sheva Magistrate's Court on a request to extend their detention.
