An undercover agent from the Jerusalem District Special Investigations Unit (YAMAR) has led to the arrest of 28 suspected drug dealers across Israel. The agent operated for ten months, leveraging his known criminal connections to gain the trust of dealers and conduct dozens of controlled transactions. During these operations, he purchased large quantities of cocaine, ecstasy, and other drugs valued at hundreds of thousands of shekels. The sting operation, which involved officers from multiple districts, Border Police, National Guard personnel, and the K9 unit, aimed to disrupt drug supply chains into Jerusalem. Authorities seized dangerous drugs, over 100,000 shekels in cash, and 12 vehicles believed to have been used in transporting and selling narcotics. Police intend to seek forfeiture of these vehicles. Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Avshalom Peled stated the operation also aimed to erode trust among criminals, noting that "no criminal in this field knows this morning whether the next deal is the one that will end his path and put him behind bars." The suspects are expected to appear in court later today for remand extension hearings, and the investigation is ongoing.
