Police in Israel's Northern District, along with Border Police and National Guard forces, uncovered a large cache of weapons and drugs in an open area above the village of Rama on Tuesday. Authorities estimate the street value of the seized items to be in the millions of shekels. Police described the find as the main weapons and explosives stash used by the "Abu Latif" crime organization for its regular criminal activities.

The operation was prompted by intelligence gathered in the Northern District. Dozens of officers and combatants spent many hours searching the area before locating the hidden compound. Among the confiscated items were 12 firearms, including four pistols of various types and eight rifles such as M16s, Kalashnikovs, and shotguns. Advanced explosive materials were also found, including a standard IDF explosive charge, hand grenades, and dozens of detonator systems for explosives.

In addition to the weaponry, forces discovered hundreds of rounds of ammunition of all types, dozens of magazines, weapon spare parts, and standard body armor. A vehicle equipped with fake license plates and over three kilograms of suspected cocaine were also seized. All evidence has been transferred to the Israel Police's explosives and criminal identification laboratories for further analysis to identify those involved.
