Police Seize M16 Rifle, Drugs, and Ammunition in Ramle and Lod Raids

Israeli police, in conjunction with Border Police and K9 units, conducted a series of raids and searches in the cities of Ramle and Lod, resulting in the seizure of weapons, ammunition, and significant quantities of drugs. In Ramle's Jawarish neighborhood, officers discovered an M16 rifle equipped with a Trijicon scope and silencer, along with a loaded magazine, additional magazines, weapon parts, and a large amount of ammunition. Police suspect the weapons were intended for assassinations as part of an ongoing bloody dispute between families. No arrests were announced in connection with this discovery.

In a separate operation in Lod, police confiscated over 16 kilograms of hashish and more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, in addition to a large quantity of ammunition. Police stated that these seizures aim to prevent criminal elements from obtaining weapons and drugs, and that confiscating the weapons could help thwart shooting incidents.

All confiscated items have been sent to forensic laboratories for further examination. The Central District Police affirmed their commitment to continuing operations against crime within the Arab community, citing efforts to combat violence, blood feuds, and enforce the law.
