As part of the Israel Police‘s fight against criminal elements, terror infrastructure, and instigators of disturbances, the “Capital Shield” program was launched tonight, with the participation of hundreds of Border Police fighters from the Jerusalem Envelope, Jerusalem Border Police undercover operatives, and Jerusalem District Police officers.
This is a large-scale operational program that was formulated upon the entry into office of the Commander of the Jerusalem District, Superintendent Shlomo Fuld, as a strategic response to the need to strengthen sovereignty and deepen governance in the Jerusalem Envelope area and the villages adjacent to the border. The operation focuses on offensive and proactive activity in the heart of the territory, combining precise intelligence with advanced operational capabilities, with the aim of increasing the personal security of all residents of Jerusalem in particular, and Israel in general.
The District Commander, Superintendent Shlomo Fuld, arrived tonight at the police command post at the Jerusalem Envelope Border Police base, to closely observe the forces’ activity in the field together with the Commander of the Jerusalem Envelope Border Police, Superintendent Eran Levy.
The following are the results of the operation and the seized items:
* Three handguns.
* M16 parts.
* Loose ammunition.
* Two military combat vests.
* An airsoft pistol.
* Various types of drugs not for personal consumption (hashish, Spice, ecstasy,
marijuana).
* A cloned vehicle.
Eight suspects were arrested in the operation and transferred for further investigation by the police and security forces.
This activity is part of a series of operations aimed at dismantling criminal and terror infrastructure that harms the safe living environment of residents, and it joins the activity carried out earlier yesterday by Jerusalem Border Police undercover operatives, who arrested a suspect in arms trafficking in the Shuafat refugee camp.
Commander of the Jerusalem District, Superintendent Shlomo Fuld: “The implementation of the rule of law in every single point is a necessary condition for the security of the capital. ‘Capital Shield’ is not a one-time operation, but a new and significant stage in the defense of Jerusalem. The security of the capital begins in the depth of the territory, with determination and offensiveness. The operation sends a clear message to all those who plot evil: there is no safe haven from the long arm of the police. We are strengthening sovereignty and expanding governance in every corner of the Jerusalem Envelope and the villages, out of an uncompromising commitment to the safety and security of all residents of Jerusalem and the area. Where there is terror and crime – we will be there to eradicate them and restore order. Our policy is clear – zero tolerance towards anyone who tries to undermine sovereignty or harm the security of citizens.”
Commander of the Border Police, Superintendent Yitzhak Brick: “Border Police fighters operated tonight in the heart of the Shuafat refugee camp with determination, professionalism, and full cooperation with the Jerusalem District Police, as part of the effort to eradicate terror and crime and to strengthen personal security and the security of the citizens of Jerusalem and the area. The Border Police continues to be a special operational force in implementing the rule of law, thwarting threats, and deepening governance, wherever a firm, precise, and uncompromising response is required. Border Police fighters are a significant force multiplier in every sector, and operate with determination to restore security and maintain a safe living environment.”
