Northern District police officers, backed by Border Police tactical units, carried out an operation in the village of Shaab in the Lower Galilee. During a search of a building under construction, officers recovered an M16 assault rifle, a stun grenade, multiple magazines, and a quantity of ammunition. A 23-year-old Shaab resident was arrested at the scene and taken for questioning. Police are expected to request a remand extension at court later today. The seizure follows a pattern of weapon-recovery operations by the Northern District across Arab communities in the Galilee; earlier this month, officers chased down a suspect in Nahaf and seized an M16, and raided a crime compound in Tuba-Zangariyye.
