Police arrested four suspects, conducted 13 searches, seized a grenade, a handgun, and magazines, and removed 24 cameras overlooking public spaces during the latest phase of Operation Iron Net targeting organized crime in the Arab sector over the weekend, according to N12 crime reporter Oren Ravid.
Israeli police continued their targeted crackdown on organized crime in the Arab sector over the weekend, arresting four additional suspects in the ongoing Operation Iron Net. According to N12 police reporter Oren Ravid, the operation included 13 searches, the seizure of a grenade, a handgun, and magazines, and the removal of 24 surveillance cameras overlooking public spaces — a stated tactic to disrupt criminal networks' ability to monitor police movements.
The operation follows a similar sweep last weekend in the Menashe region, in which 21 suspects were arrested and six firearms were seized, as The Zioneer reported on Sunday. That earlier operation was also part of the Iron Net framework.
The current arrests bring the total number of suspects detained in Iron Net operations to at least 25 over the past two weekends. The police have not yet released the names of the four new suspects or specified the localities where the searches and camera removals took place.
