Police confiscated 54 cows and detained six residents from the northern council of Fassuta near Mt. Meron, after repeated entrance into state-owned pastures and nature reserves, according to a police spokesperson. Police and Border Police completed an operation together with Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund inspectors on Thursday night in an attempt to put a stop to the repeated illegal use of state land by residents of Fassuta. The six people detained are suspected of illegally entering farmland, damaging property, trespassing and breaking forest regulations. A large amount of ammunition was also recovered in Fassuta homes searched by the police. The cows are being held in quarantine.
