JERUSALEM —
Police cracked Israel’s largest cocaine-smuggling ring and found $1.5-million worth of the narcotic buried in an ice chest under a former horse stable, a spokeswoman said Sunday.

The discovery followed the arrests earlier this month of seven of Israel’s leading drug dealers, most of them from the Tel Aviv area, Hertzberg said.
