During the surveillance, investigators observed an unlicensed electric motorcycle leaving a residential compound belonging to one of the families involved in the conflict. Officers secretly monitored the motorcycle's movements as it navigated through the village, with the riders apparently unaware they were being followed.

Following the investigation, the Nazareth District Prosecutor's Office filed the indictment against the suspect. In addition to the weapons charge, he was charged with operating the electric motorcycle without a valid driving license.
