Two Israeli citizens were apprehended in separate incidents abroad while attempting to smuggle illegal items. In the Dominican Republic, customs officials at Punta Cana International Airport discovered 16 sealed packages of a white powder, believed to be cocaine, hidden in false bottoms of suitcases belonging to two 38-year-old Israelis. The suspects were en route to Frankfurt when their luggage anomalies were detected via X-ray. The seized substance has been sent for laboratory analysis, and the detainees have been handed over to the local prosecutor's office.
In a separate event, a 30-year-old Israeli man was detained in the port of Limassol, Cyprus, before boarding a cruise ship. Security personnel found a magazine loaded with 18 live ammunition rounds and a portable radio in his luggage. The suspect appeared before the Limassol District Court on Sunday, November 15, where his detention was extended for three days to allow for further investigation into the circumstances and the origin of the ammunition.
