An undercover agent, a known criminal figure, operated for ten months with the Jerusalem District's undercover unit, leading to the arrest of 28 suspects in a major drug bust across Israel. The operation, aimed at disrupting drug supply chains into Jerusalem, resulted in the seizure of drugs, over 100,000 shekels in cash, and 12 vehicles suspected of being used in drug trafficking. The agent, leveraging his criminal reputation, successfully infiltrated drug networks and conducted dozens of controlled deals involving cocaine, ecstasy, and other substances worth hundreds of thousands of shekels, all under the guidance of the Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office.
Jerusalem District Commander, Superintendent Absalom Peled, stated that the operation aimed not only to prosecute drug dealers but also to erode trust within criminal networks. "No criminal in this field knows this morning if the next deal is the one that will end his path and put him behind bars," Peled declared, emphasizing the corrosive impact of drugs on youth and society.
The arrests were made early Wednesday morning by large police forces, including officers from multiple districts, Border Police, National Guard, and K9 units. Authorities intend to seek the forfeiture of the seized vehicles as part of the legal proceedings. The suspects are expected to appear in court for remand extension hearings as the investigation continues.
