Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice 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.
