Dozens of suspects have been arrested as law enforcement forces began conducting a broad operation against illegal weapons <\/a>and drugs across the country, the police announced on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The operation involved hundreds of Israel Police and Border Police officers.<\/p>\n

“This is what proactive, aggressive, and determined police looks like,” National Securty Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir<\/a> announced about the operation.<\/p>\n

“Hundreds of police officers and fighters simultaneously raiding dozens of targets and reaching arms and drug dealers – this is exactly the policy we are leading,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Moving from defense to offense, pursuing crime and not allowing it to raise its head. I commend the Police Commissioner, the commander of Lahav, the Lahav 433 police, the Border Police<\/a> fighters, and the special units for their professional and determined activity. We will continue to give the police the tools and backing to strike crime with all our might.”<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, as part of a targeted operation by Lahav 433\u2019s National Unit for Serious and International Crime Investigations against the Hariri<\/a> crime organization, two of the organization\u2019s leaders were arrested. A court extended their detention until this coming Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The two were arrested on suspicion of possessing weapons and violating an administrative restriction order issued under the Law for the Protection of the Public from Criminal Organizations.<\/p>\n

The order imposed several restrictions, including full house arrest, a ban on leaving the country, and a prohibition on contact with members of the crime organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dozens of suspects have been arrested as law enforcement forces began conducting a broad operation against illegal weapons…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[13840,44917,737,497,245436,42,14925,1158,43,102,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-538734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-arrest","tag-border-police","tag-crime","tag-drugs","tag-hariri","tag-headlines","tag-illegal-weapons","tag-israel-police","tag-news","tag-police","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
