Police Shut Down 15 Illegal Parties, Two Minors Stabbed

Police in Israel's Sharon region disrupted 15 illegal outdoor parties held without necessary permits, many attended by minors, during an overnight operation ahead of the school year. Officers were deployed to various locations, including the industrial zone in Petah Tikva and the Kula Forest near Rosh Ha'ayin.

During the operation, authorities seized sound equipment, issued environmental violation tickets, and confiscated alcoholic beverages. Six minors were detained on various suspicion charges related to the events.

Separately, police responded to a report of two minors arriving at a hospital with stab wounds, their conditions described as mild. Investigators believe a brawl occurred at one of the parties, leading to the stabbings. Officers dispersed that event and detained two minors on suspicion of involvement. Four additional minors were detained on suspicion of organizing the parties.

The police stated they will continue to combat unauthorized events that lack required licensing and safety standards, particularly those involving teenagers.
