Israeli police have revealed the success of a ten-month undercover operation involving a known criminal who infiltrated drug trafficking rings. The operative, working with the Jerusalem District's special unit, targeted major drug supply chains leading to the capital. During his undercover work, he leveraged his established criminal reputation to gain the trust of drug dealers in Jerusalem and across the country.

He conducted dozens of controlled drug purchases, acquiring significant quantities of cocaine, ecstasy, and other substances valued at hundreds of thousands of shekels. These transactions were meticulously planned and executed under the guidance of the undercover unit.

Early this morning, a large-scale police operation, including Border Police, National Guard, and K-9 units, raided the homes of suspects nationwide. Authorities arrested 28 individuals and seized over 100,000 shekels in cash, dangerous drugs, and 12 vehicles suspected of being used in drug transportation and deals. The seized assets are slated for confiscation.

At a ceremony revealing the operative, Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Absalom Peled stated that the operation achieved its two main goals: disrupting the immediate circle of criminals supplying drugs to Jerusalem and undermining the trust among criminals, making their operations more difficult. He added that no criminal in the field knows if their next deal will lead to their arrest.
