Three men, including a Palestinian who illegally entered Israel, were indicted on Friday for possessing a Matador missile stolen from the IDF. The suspects, aged 22 to 24, had reportedly photographed themselves with the stolen weapon. The incident came to light about a month ago when police discovered the missile during an operation near Shfaram in northern Israel. An initial investigation led to the arrest of two suspects, and later revealed the involvement of a third man who had also posed for photos with the stolen missile. The three suspects, identified as a 22-year-old Palestinian from Judea and Samaria and two residents of Shfaram aged 22 and 24, were indicted at the Haifa District Court. Prosecutors have requested their detention be extended until the conclusion of legal proceedings. The Israeli police stated their commitment to combating violent crime and the illegal arms trade. So far this year, police in the Northern District and border guards have seized over 700 weapons and lethal equipment, arresting several armed individuals caught in the act.
