These offensive operations against the perpetrators of crime are in addition to another operation yesterday afternoon, during which a Glock pistol and several Molotov cocktails ready for use were found, and two suspects were arrested for possessing them, with the assistance of a drone from the air.
Superintendent Ran Ofir, Commander of the Jezreel Valley Subdistrict: “The series of severe incidents that occurred on Saturday night will receive an appropriate response from the Israel Police. The dozens of arrests, the 7 weapons seized, and the forces’ operations prove our determination in dealing with the crime elements in the village.
The fight against crime in Arab society is a top priority for the Northern District, and we will continue to act against all criminal organizations and offenders by deploying dedicated task forces, intensive intelligence operations, extensive seizures of illegal weapons, arrests, and the filing of indictments.
It is important to emphasize that the fight against crime in the Arab street requires the attention of all bodies that need to convene and address it in terms of prevention, legislation, and the return of technological tools for police use.”
