The arrest of Eyal Nager, a key figure in the Ashdod and Ashkelon underworld, has left a significant void in the Lachish region. According to sources familiar with the details, Nager's men allegedly continue to operate in the areas he was involved in, mainly debt collection and loans, while other criminals are exploring the possibility of expanding their influence. Meanwhile, violent conflicts between senior criminal figures continue. The conflict between Matan Arbiv and Adam Dafes, which has been ongoing for years and crosses police districts, is accompanied by violent incidents, explosive devices, and documented provocations. Just this week, videos were circulated showing Arbiv's men allegedly searching for Dafes in Ashdod. Another serious incident occurred in Kiryat Malakhi, where an explosive device was placed near a home linked to the Dafes family, injuring two women. Another conflict is underway between Raziel Revah and the Domrani family over control struggles in Ashkelon, allegedly involving a protection racket. In Kiryat Gat, brothers Shai and Michael Binimo are suspected of criminal activity including taking over the courier industry and providing loans, as well as alleged ties with local authority figures. Earlier this year, an explosive device was placed in the car of the municipality's CEO. The sources assess that the conflicts are far from over and that further violent incidents are expected.
