  • IDF officers tasked with stopping Gaza smuggling are now defendants.
  • An investigation questions how smuggling reached the security apparatus.
  • An individual involved in 'Operation Arnon' is accused of aiding Hamas.
  • Sources express shock at the alleged infiltration of smuggling networks.

A special investigative report by "HaMokor" on Channel 13 has revealed a complex situation involving Israeli military officers who were initially tasked with stopping smuggling into Gaza but have now become defendants themselves. The report questions how a smuggling operation, allegedly involving significant sums of money and potentially aiding Hamas, reached the core of Israel's security apparatus.

One individual, described as an "unsung hero" of "Operation Arnon" (a covert operation), is alleged to have engaged in highly questionable activities. The report suggests this person, who reportedly "did hair-raising things," may have inadvertently assisted Hamas during wartime. The investigation delves into the extent of this alleged involvement and its implications for national security.

"I've been in the organization for many years. There was never anything like this," one source stated, expressing shock at the situation. The report highlights the deep infiltration of smuggling networks and raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of security measures and internal oversight within the military and security services. The investigation aims to uncover the full scope of the smuggling industry and its connections within the security system, questioning how such a situation could develop and persist.
