Police officers in the southern Bedouin town of Tel Sheva discovered a man chained to a concrete pillar during a search for weapons on Wednesday. The officers, from the Ayarot station and the Yoav unit, were conducting operational activity in the town when they made the surprising discovery inside a home.

Initial suspicions suggest the victim was chained by the residents of the house due to drug use. The circumstances and the duration for which the man was held in this state are still under investigation. Three suspects, residents of Tel Sheva, were arrested and taken for further questioning.

Commander of the Ayarot station, Superintendent Yaav Siman, stated, "This is a serious incident in which a person was found chained with chains inside a house. The officers of the Ayarot station and the fighters of the Yoav unit acted quickly, with determination and professionalism to rescue him and arrest the suspects.
