Report: Palestinian Women Smuggling Huge Quantities of Cheap Tobacco From Jordan
2.8 million cigarettes have been confiscated this year, but smuggling techniques are difficult to detect and mean ‘much bigger’ quantities of tobacco pass freely through customs.The amount of tobacco being smuggled from Jordan into Palestine is “much bigger” than the amount being stopped by PA customs, according to a Palestinian official.
“Women mostly are the ones who are carrying out the smuggling,” Mohammed Rabih, an assistant to the director of Palestinian Customs, told U.S. new-site Al Monitor.
