Crime in Israel

Trading in antiquities and bringing antiquities from the West Bank into Israel without a permit as well as searching for antiquities without a license using a metal detector are criminal offenses.

The four suspected attempted terrorists, all in their 20s, had reportedly been training with illegal airsoft weaponry in preparation for launching an attack.

The most common offenses were online crimes such as information theft and identity theft. In total, 16.6% of Jews and others were victims of crimes, compared to 7.8% of Arabs.

The suspects excavation equipment has been seized, and the investigation is ongoing.

Two suspects, a 22-year-old man and a 35-year-old man, were arrested after monitoring of their social media accounts revealed the suspects praising the Iranian regime’s attacks against Israel.

The woman was deported after being involved with a security incident in which a Jewish settler hit a 5-year-old Palestinian child with the side mirror of his vehicle.

According to the indictment, the four defendants operated in an organized, repeated pattern to move trucks loaded with prohibited goods into Gaza outside the authorized mechanism.

"According to reports, as a result of the incident, several people involved were injured, who were evacuated by the Red Crescent, and one of them was later pronounced dead," the police said.

It is important to understand that the defendants were not exonerated, and the indictments were dropped on the basis of ‘Haganah min hatzedek’ - when one’s right to a fair trial has been violated.

Justice Alex Stein says there is ‘first-order public interest’ in disclosure, holds publication pending further review of claimed suicide risk.
