Algeria Gate: Algeria and 11 other countries strongly condemned the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in northwestern Syria.

A joint statement by the foreign ministers of Algeria, Turkey, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mauritania, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia strongly condemned the Israeli airstrikes targeting the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in northwestern Syria, stating that these attacks constitute an extremely dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political unity of the Syrian Arab Republic.

In the same statement, the ministers expressed deep concern over the continued targeting of Syrian territory and infrastructure and the resulting destruction and weakening effect, warning that these actions directly threaten Syria’s ongoing efforts to restore security, rebuild state institutions, and address the humanitarian consequences of years of prolonged conflict.

The ministers affirmed that the continued violation by the Israeli entity of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity threatens to further escalate tensions, undermine regional peace and stability, and weaken respect for international law and the principles of the UN Charter.

The ministers called on the international community to take a firm, clear, and principled stance against the continued aggression on Syria, and to take concrete steps, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter, to put an end to these violations and ensure full respect for the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, as well as the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the areas they have occupied; thereby preventing further escalation and protecting peace and stability in the region.

The ministers also stressed the urgent need to respect Syria’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and political unity, affirming their rejection of any attempt to undermine or erode them.

From Morocco to Dubai and France.. Algerian Security Dismantles Cross-Border Criminal Network and Seizes Unprecedented Quantity of Hallucinogenic Pills!

Algeria Gate: In one of the largest major operations carried out by the Algerian security services, the Central Service for Combating Illicit Trafficking in Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (SCLTISSP), under the Algerian security apparatus, succeeded in dismantling an organized international network engaged in trafficking narcotics and psychotropic substances.

The operation resulted in the seizure of a massive quantity of psychotropic substances, estimated at 10,400,000 capsules of the drug “Pregabalin,” alongside 33 kilograms and 400 grams of cocaine, with the total market value of the seized items estimated at around one thousand billion centimes.

According to data provided by the national security services, the operation followed an intelligence-gathering effort undertaken by the service’s investigators since January 2026, which uncovered a serious criminal operation run by an organized international network active in western Algeria.

Investigations revealed the involvement of Moroccan drug barons and their accomplices who are fugitives from Algerian justice, who were running their illegal activity from Morocco, relying on network members based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to manage and transfer funds and criminal proceeds, alongside other members located in France.

After identifying the network’s members and the routes of shipments originating from the country’s southern provinces, security services, backed by elements of the Police Special Operations Group (GOSP), carried out simultaneous arrest operations covering the provinces of Oran, Tizi Ouzou, Algiers, Blida, and Tipaza.

The operation led to the arrest of 25 members of the criminal organization, including one woman and one person holding foreign nationality, in addition to the seizure of 19 vehicles of various types, including a trailer truck, a tanker truck, and three motorcycles, which were used in the network’s criminal activity.

Security services also seized an amount of cash in national currency exceeding one billion 500 million centimes, representing criminal proceeds, in addition to the rest of the seized items, bringing the total value of the operation to around one thousand billion centimes.

The suspects were brought, on August 20, 2026, before the public prosecutor at the specialized criminal pole of Sidi M’hamed in Algiers, under the supervision of the competent prosecution office.
