Israeli police, in conjunction with border guards and a K-9 unit, 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. During a raid on a residential complex in the Jawaris neighborhood of Ramle, officers discovered an M16 rifle equipped with a Trijicon scope and a silencer, along with a loaded ammunition magazine, additional magazines, weapon parts, and a large amount of ammunition. Police stated the weapons were hidden and are suspected of being intended for use by a group in assassination operations related to an ongoing blood feud between families. No arrests were announced in connection with this discovery.

In a separate operation in Lod, police from the Shfela region, with assistance from border guards and a K-9 unit, conducted a search that yielded over 16 kilograms of hashish, more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, and a substantial quantity of ammunition. Police emphasized that the confiscation of weapons and drugs is part of efforts to prevent them from reaching criminal elements and to curb shooting incidents. All seized items have been sent to police forensic laboratories for further examination.

The Central District police affirmed their commitment to continuing operations against crime, violence, and blood feuds within Arab society, reinforcing law enforcement.
