The arrest of a resident of Kafr Kanna on suspicion of security offenses has uncovered an arms affair involving multiple suspects, according to an Israeli media report. Weapons were seized during the investigation.
Police arrested a resident of Kafr Kanna, a town in northern Israel, on suspicion of security offenses, Israeli media reported Thursday. The arrest developed into a broader probe uncovering an arms affair involving multiple suspects, with unspecified weapons seized. No further details — the number of additional suspects, the types of weapons found, and the suspect's identity — have been released. The investigation is ongoing.
This is at least the eighth reported police weapons seizure in Arab towns in Israel over the past month, as The Zioneer has tracked. Previous cases ranged from an M16 rifle found in Nahaf to a multi-suspect arms ring in Umm al-Fahm and over 800 military rounds seized in Ramla.
