Israeli police exposed a massive drug lab in Tul Karem, a city in the Palestinian Authority.

Early Friday morning (Dec. 22) a large force of police and IDF soldiers surrounded a house in Tul Karem, and after entering discovered a large marijuana plant. The drugs were to be distributed in the Sharon area, in Israel. Over 120 plants were found. The lab was run by Arab residents of Teibe.

The lab was exposed after the police had over the past several months arrested several drug dealers involved in the distribution of drugs which originated in this lab.

A police spokesperson explained that Tul Karem was chosen as a site for the drug lab because it is not easily accessible to the Israeli Police.
