Son of Famous Israeli Singer Arrested with Over 1kg of Cannabis

Police in Jerusalem have extended the arrest of a 28-year-old man from Modi'in, identified as the son of a well-known Israeli singer, after approximately 1.1 kilograms of cannabis, divided into dozens of small bags, were found in his vehicle. The man was stopped for a routine check last week when officers detected the smell of drugs emanating from the car. Authorities stated they were unaware of his mother's identity at the time of the stop. Investigators are currently working to identify potential customers of the suspect, who is believed to be involved in drug trafficking. Despite the suspect remaining silent and refusing to provide access to his mobile phone, a source close to the investigation indicated that there is sufficient incriminating evidence to file charges against him, suggesting the case is nearing closure. His detention has been extended until October 2, 2026, to allow for further investigative actions. This arrest is part of a broader police effort to combat drug distribution and illegal trade in major cities, involving proactive operations and surprise vehicle inspections.
