Israel Police uncovered an operational vehicle containing a stolen IDF LAHAT shoulder-fired missile and flammable materials believed intended to destroy evidence after use, during an operation in Tel Sheva aimed at thwarting a concrete attack in a criminal clan feud, according to N12.
Police forces in the Bedouin town of Tel Shea in the Negev discovered an operational vehicle containing a stolen IDF LAHAT (M72 LAW) shoulder-fired missile and flammable materials during a raid to foil a serious attack linked to an ongoing criminal clan feud, N12 reported Sunday afternoon. The materials were reportedly intended to destroy evidence after use. The discovery underscores the escalation of violence in intra-family criminal conflicts, where heavy weaponry has become increasingly available. As The Zioneer has reported in prior coverages, Israeli police have recently seized significant weapons caches in clan-related operations in Lod and Jerusalem – including Molotov cocktails, grenades, and explosive devices – though a LAHAT missile represents a notable escalation in the arms involved. No arrests or specific targets have been named in this operation yet; the investigation continues.
