The Central Unit of the Coastal District has been conducting an operation in recent months. Border Police fighters from the Coastal District’s Central Unit uncovered a network for trafficking women, whom the suspects hunted on social media and forced to provide sexual services.

The suspects lured the women with a false offer of office work, provided them with housing and salary, and subsequently advertised them on social media and forced them through threats to provide sexual services in apartments they rented. Yesterday, police officers raided the suspects’ homes and arrested seven suspects, including two main suspects – a man and a woman. During the search, tens of thousands of shekels and dollars in cash were seized, suspected to be proceeds from illegal activity.
