In an exclusive report, News 14 reveals that a Bedouin undercover agent was deployed into criminal organizations, leading to the incrimination of dozens of criminals across Israel. Details of the operation remain limited.
In a report published Monday evening at 21:16 Jerusalem, News 14 claims that a Bedouin undercover agent was deployed into criminal organizations, leading to the incrimination of dozens of suspects nationwide. The report provides no operational details and does not cite official sources. The Zioneer had already reported earlier Monday at 09:22 Jerusalem that police confirmed a Lahav 433 operation using a Bedouin agent codenamed 'The Wanderer,' which resulted in the arrest of 34 suspects, including 20 major crime targets. At that time, N12 also reported that some of the targets had security-related offenses. It remains unclear whether the News 14 report refers to the same operation or describes a separate, previously undisclosed deployment. A week earlier, on Monday July 6 at 21:05 Jerusalem, News 14 reported on a Yamar North infiltration that also led to 34 arrests. The Zioneer has covered both operations. No official police statement has been issued regarding the latest News 14 report, leaving its scope and timing unverified.
