Police in Rahat, a Bedouin city in the Negev, discovered a man chained to the floor of a residential home during an operational activity on Monday. The discovery was made by officers from the Rahat station, assisted by members of the Sahar unit, who were conducting searches for weapons in the city. The man was freed from the chains.

He emphasized the police's commitment to combating violence and protecting individual liberty and security. This incident marks the second such case in the Negev within two weeks.
Previously, a man was found chained to a concrete pillar in Tel Sheva, also in the Negev, during a search for weapons. Three suspects from Tel Sheva were arrested. The initial belief in that case was that the victim was chained by household members as a form of punishment for drug use. Commander of the Atarot station, Superintendent Yahav Siman, described that incident as severe and praised the swift, professional actions of the officers in rescuing the victim and apprehending the suspects.
