Teen Arrested for Firing Stolen IDF Rocket at Crime Family Compound

Israeli police have arrested a 16-year-old boy suspected of firing an anti-tank rocket, which was stolen from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), at a residential compound in Jaljulia, a town in central Israel. The compound is reportedly inhabited by a crime family. The rocket attack, which occurred on Wednesday, resulted in no injuries. The suspect was brought before the Kfar Saba Magistrate's Court, which ordered his release under restrictive conditions.

The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into violent disputes and crime within the Arab community in Israel. Police officers from the Kfar Kassem station, along with members of the National Guard and Border Police, conducted searches in several locations in Jaljulia under judicial warrants. During these searches, officers discovered two handguns, a Beretta and an FN, along with a drum magazine, additional magazines, and ammunition. These weapons were found concealed in a kitchen and an attic.

In a separate search of another compound in the city, authorities seized 14 cameras, including some monitoring public areas. These cameras were confiscated for further investigation. Following the rocket attack, a significant police presence was deployed to the scene in Jaljulia to conduct searches, collect evidence, and gather forensic findings.
