|Updated:
Coalition forces recently captured and destroyed an ISIS drug cache in southern Syria, which was valued at $1.4 million and included more than 300,000 pills of the drug captagon.

The discovery brought attention to a new development in the operations of ISIS terrorists. With the loss of its so-called “caliphate”—and the loss of money from taxes and oil, the group is turning to drug trafficking.
