Israeli police are continuing their determined fight against crime and violence in the Arab community, particularly in Bedouin communities in the south. As part of Operation “Iron Net,” ordered by Police Commissioner Chief Superintendent Dani Levy, Southern District forces and border patrol fighters raided various targets.
The operational activity, which took place over the past weekend, focused on violent conflicts between different factions and thwarting criminal activity that harms public safety. Southern District Commander Superintendent Haim Bublil emphasized that the goal is to strengthen the security of law-abiding citizens.
During focused activity in the Towns Station sector, police and border patrol fighters arrested two suspects traveling by vehicle near the Nesharim interchange. A search of the vehicle turned up three Glock handguns, three matching magazines and approximately 214 grams of material suspected to be crystal meth.
In another operation carried out in the town of Hura, forces located an abandoned vehicle containing a handgun and three magazines, which were confiscated. Two suspects, Hura residents, were arrested and taken for questioning. In the city of Rahat, three M-16 rifles were seized in the 25th neighborhood, and one suspect was arrested.
