Police find, confiscate multiple weapons caches in north
Police raids in Arab towns in the Galilee uncover several weapons caches over the past two weeks, according to officials.
In one Nazareth raid, police find an M16 assault rifle variant — apparently the M4A1 — and an FN handgun with four magazines of bullets.
In a raid in Tuba Zangariya, officers find eight pipe bombs, and in Araba an improvised “Carlo” firearm.
In Dir al-Assad and Majdal Krum, some 180 firecrackers are uncovered and confiscated.
Mayors and lawmakers from Arab towns have long demanded that police crack down on crime and weapons smuggling in their communities, many of them scarred by gang and inter-clan violence.
