Israeli police on Thursday thwarted an armed assassination squad belonging to the Hariri crime organization just moments before they were set to carry out a hit. The operation, which involved intelligence gathering and surveillance by the Lahav 433 special investigations unit, led to the arrest of four suspects. The suspects were apprehended as they traveled from central Israel towards the north. Three of the arrested individuals are residents of Shfaram in their 20s, and the fourth is a resident of Abteen in his 40s. Three of the suspects were found disguised with masks and in possession of M16 rifles equipped with silencers. The suspects are currently under investigation by the coastal district police, and authorities plan to request an extension of their detention at the Haifa Magistrate's Court. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities also recently uncovered a cache of weapons at a property associated with a known crime family in the north.
