A police drone captured dramatic footage of a 15-year-old boy being apprehended in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva in the Negev. The drone monitored a pursuit of the armed minor, who had reportedly attacked his family members before attempting to flee on foot. The footage shows law enforcement officers closing in on the teenager amidst residential courtyards and dense vegetation before his swift arrest.
This incident was part of a broader police operation in the Negev region involving the Southern District Police, National Guard, and special units. The operation, which included raids, checkpoints, and targeted searches, aimed to disrupt criminal infrastructure and resulted in the seizure of significant quantities of weapons, stolen IDF ammunition, and dangerous drugs.
