Police Raid Crime Gang Targets, Arrest 23 Suspects

Jerusalem, 1 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel Police forces raided dozens of targets belonging to the reputed Hariri and Abu Latif Arab crime organizations, and additional suspected criminals from the Judea and Samaria area, early Monday morning. The raids came after a covert investigation, during which a state witness implicated what the police called “senior criminals.”

The witness, who was given the nickname “the prince,” operated within the Hariri and Abu Latif crime organizations for over a year, while gathering extensive evidence that ultimately led to the arrest of 23 suspects.
