? Security authorities at Cairo International Airport in Egypt have arrested four elderly women who attempted to smuggle drugs hidden inside wheelchairs while en route to Saudi Arabia.

The El-Nozha Prosecution Office is investigating the suspects after they were found with 20 kg of Captagon hidden inside the wheelchairs.

The General Administration for Drug Control is searching for those who used the suspects in the smuggling operation to apprehend them and take legal action against them.

? Key points from Hamas' statement on Washington's approval of a new arms deal with Israel:

▪️ The U.S. administration's approval of a new $20 billion arms deal with the Zionist entity is part of its unlimited support and full endorsement of the brutal and aggressive behavior of this rogue state, which defies international laws and norms.

▪️ The continued financial and military support by the U.S. administration for the Zionist entity reaffirms that it is a full partner in the genocide, ethnic cleansing, and brutal massacres against our Palestinian people.

▪️ All measures to support and back this rogue occupying entity in its crimes, violations, and disregard for international laws and human norms will not guarantee security or victory for the Zionist entity.

▪️ Our Palestinian people, alongside the Arab and Islamic nations, the resistance forces, and all the free people of the world, will continue to resist it and its crimes until it is driven out of our land.
