Police in the southern district, alongside National Guard and Border Police (MAGAV) forces, recently conducted operations across the Negev region, resulting in the seizure of weapons, stolen IDF ammunition, and approximately 25 kilograms of hashish.
During the week, authorities received a report of a suspect assaulting his family in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva. Upon the arrival of officers and combatants, the suspect, a 15-year-old, fled on foot. A police drone located the fleeing teenager, leading to his apprehension. During a search, officers found several 5.56mm ammunition rounds and an improvised weapon wrapped in plastic wrap. The 15-year-old resident of Tel Sheva was taken for questioning at the Ofakim police station.
In a separate incident in Beersheba, police responded to a report of a young man threatening his brother with a weapon. Officers from the Beersheba station seized the weapon and arrested an 18-year-old resident.
An intelligence-led operation near Goral Junction saw detectives and National Guard forces spot a suspicious vehicle that attempted to flee. The car was later located near Rahat, with approximately 25 kilograms of suspected hashish found inside. The driver, a 28-year-old resident of Tarabin, was arrested.
Further operations in Rahat involved searches of residential compounds, where three M-16 assault rifles, two Glock pistols, an improvised weapon, a Carlo-type weapon, dozens of magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition were confiscated. Several suspects were arrested in connection with illegal firearms possession and shooting incidents.
Additionally, near Lakia, a stolen vehicle from Rehovot was recovered and returned to its owner. In Hura, officers responded to reports of gunfire, and during a search of a suspicious vehicle, a Glock pistol was found on the driver, a 27-year-old resident of Tel Sheva, who was arrested.
The police stated that operational activities in the Negev are ongoing daily to seize illegal weapons and drugs, thwart criminal offenses, and enhance resident security.
