Cops uncover missile, grenades and more in gang crackdown

Police say they uncovered a cache of weapons, including a shoulder-mounted missile, in a hidey hole in a town near the northern city of Nazareth, among various explosives captured by police in raids around the country targeting organized crime in the Arab community.

Police say they found a LAW missile, which is used as a light anti-armor weapon, in a small pit in the community of Yafia, along with a Carlo-style submachine gun, and ammunition.

Inside Nazareth, they say, a cache of guns and ammunition were captured, and two suspects arrested.

A raid in Abu Snan, another majority-Arab city in the north, nets nine explosive detonation mechanisms hidden in an IDF ammo storage box, police say.

In Rahat in southern Israel, police say, they found 15 grenades and arrested four people.

The crackdown comes as law enforcement authorities have come under pressure following a massive car bombing in Ramle last week that left four people dead, two of them children.
