Israeli police have arrested a lawyer and three relatives in northern Israel following a raid that uncovered stolen Israel Defense Forces (IDF) equipment, a large sum of cash, and illegally modified vehicles. The operation, which took place last Sunday in the towns of Nahf and Majd al-Krum, involved officers from the Northern District, the Border Police (MAGAV), the Galil special unit YASAM, and canine handlers. Authorities seized over 380,000 shekels, more than $70,000 USD, and over 17,000 Euros from hidden compartments in the suspects' homes. Investigators believe the confiscated items, including airsoft pistols and army surveillance gear, were stolen from IDF bases. Among the seized items were a bulletproof SUV with unauthorized modifications and a quad bike with a fake license plate. The lawyer and his relatives are being questioned on suspicion of money laundering, illegal vehicle modifications, and involvement in other offenses, including shooting incidents in residential areas. Police stated the raid is part of a broader effort to combat violent crime in the Northern District, which has seen over 770 firearms confiscated since the beginning of 2026.
