In one of the biggest criminal raids ever conducted in Israel, police today (May 18, 2015) arrested scores of suspects, following an intensive investigation into a number of notorious Israeli crime rings that are accused of a string of felonies -- including drug trafficking and murder -- the Times of Israel website reports.
Over 50 suspects across Israel were apprehended in their homes early this morning and brought in for interrogation as officers seized vehicles, properties, and bank accounts.
The raid was the culmination of a multi-year investigation conducted by the Israel Police's anti-fraud Lahav 433 unit together with the Tel Aviv district police.
Police Chief Yohanan Danino termed the operation "one of the most significant probes ever conducted against crime organizations in recent memory." Israeli police were not allowed to get into specific details in the case because a partial gag order is still in effect.
