Israeli Police Arrest 12 in Major Crime Ring Crackdown
Israeli police have arrested 12 suspected members of the Hariri crime organization, including a senior figure known as the 'chief arbitrator' of the underworld. The arrests were part of a large-scale operation following a month-long undercover investigation by the Judea and Samaria District's central unit. The suspects are accused of extorting millions from Palestinian residents in the West Bank, using threats and explosive devices. The operation involved coordinated raids across multiple locations, including Umm al-Fahm, Taybeh, Kafr Qassem, and Nablus. Authorities seized weapons, cash, and vehicles during the raids. The suspects are expected to face court hearings as police seek to extend their detention.
