The Knesset passes in its final vote, 20-6, legislation that will expand police powers in an effort to crack down on illegal weapons.
The legislation enables police to conduct a search for illegal weapons without needing a search warrant.
It also raises the severity of punishments for those caught with illegal weapons, allowing fines as well as up to 10 years’ imprisonment.
