Israeli security forces conduct multiple raids, seize fuel and arrest illegal residents
Police and regulatory agencies in Israel dismantled a pirate fuel station in the West Bank, seizing about 6,500 liters of diesel and arresting three suspects. The operation uncovered violations of cash‑handling laws estimated at 3.2 million shekels, counterfeit cigarettes, 14 kg of tobacco, and led to fines for soil contamination. Two illegal residents were also detained at the site.
In a separate night‑time operation near the Yarkon area, police from the Glilot station stopped a convoy of illegal residents and an Israeli driver suspected of planning residential bombings. The suspects struck a police van, injuring an officer, after which officers fired at the vehicle’s wheels and arrested five individuals, seizing a cache of specialized burglary tools.
A coordinated security sweep involving the IDF, Shin Bet, Magav and Jerusalem police was launched in the Benjamin region of the West Bank. The operation targets terror infrastructure, seeks to arrest wanted suspects, and is active in the Kalandia refugee camp and the village of Aqrab as the holiday period approaches.
