Israeli police and the Nature and Parks Authority announced the arrest of two individuals, one from Umm al-Fahm and another from Anin in the West Bank, on suspicion of illegally hunting and trading thousands of protected wild birds. A secret investigation, conducted over recent months by the YAMAR Erez unit of the Border Police's Northern District in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority, uncovered intelligence suggesting the suspects were involved in poaching and smuggling protected birds for consumption. The suspects allegedly trafficked and sold thousands of these birds to customers across Israel. The investigation moved to its public phase on the day of the announcement, with police and nature inspectors raiding the homes of both suspects in Umm al-Fahm and Anin, near Jenin. Hundreds of frozen protected "Abu Qalanswa" (Greater Spotted Eagle) birds were confiscated. One suspect's detention was extended until Wednesday, while the second was to be brought before a court for a remand extension hearing.
