Police raided targets in the village of Julis on Monday, seizing a significant cache of weapons including an IDF-issue fragmentation grenade, a rifle, a pistol with a full magazine, multiple magazines, and bulk ammunition, according to N12. A local resident was arrested on suspicion that the weapons were intended for criminal elements amid ongoing blood feuds in Arab society.
The operation is part of a broader police effort to curb the flow of illegal weapons into Arab communities, where organized crime and clan conflicts have led to dozens of killings annually. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar seizures in villages including Jadeidi-Makr, Abu Snan, Tur'an, Shaab, and Ramla, where police uncovered fragmentation grenades, rifles, rockets, and ammunition.
The investigation continues, and police are expected to request an extension of the suspect's remand.
