Police to combat Illegal Weapons at Arab Weddings
In the course of the past year, as portion of an ongoing operation dubbed “Cleaning the Vessels,” police have seized 480 handguns, 120 rifles, 82 submachine guns, about 75,700 bullets, 770 bullet clips, 10,550 firecrackers, 58 hand grenades, 130 pyrotechnical grenades, 158 pipe bombs, 2 artillery shell fuses, 10 mortar shells, 78 plastic explosive rolls and three LAW anti-tank missiles.
While not saying outright that the operation would focus on the Arab sector, the police noted that illegal use of weapons is particularly common in weddings and other celebrations in that sector. This phenomenon, the police statement noted, has been denounced by the heads of the Arab sector. In addition, the illegal weapons are used in illegal and terrorist activity, against people and property. The police stated they expect the public to cooperate and trusts that it understands the very real need to reduce the prevalence of he possession of illegal weapons.
"The operation's goal is to visibly reduce the incidents of gunfire and use of illegal weapons, which endanger human life, and thus fulfill [the police's] mission of protecting the public,” the statement said. “Unique units and organic forces have been set aside for the mission and equipped with advanced technology.”
The activity is expected to last several months and to focus on the predominantly Arab northern and central areas, within clearly defined areas. Police noted that even before the activity began, preparatory training is already underway in decree to ready the forces for the assignment.
