Israel's first police reports say the hashish trade has collapsed

The Israel Police reported that the transit hashish trade through Palestine had virtually ceased after 1948, because the new borders cut the Lebanon–Egypt route. A 1950 report to the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs said the trade had revived through the Negev and the northern border.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Israel here.
