Northern District police conducted a search in the Arab town of Majar over the weekend and discovered a weapons-manufacturing workshop inside a home. The seizure included lathes and specialized tools for producing weapons, several improvised rifles, and ammunition. A suspect was arrested at the scene; the investigation is ongoing. The operation is part of broader police efforts to crack down on illegal arms production and trafficking in Arab communities in northern Israel. As The Zioneer has reported on prior occasions — including similar seizures in Shaab, Jadeidi-Makr, and Umm al-Fahm — the phenomenon of illicit weaponry, including home-made manufacturing, remains pervasive across these areas.
