Shin Bet chief David Zini conducted a tour and working meeting in Be'er Sheva today as a guest of Mayor Rubik Danilovich. The meeting focused on security threats in the Negev and efforts to thwart them. Zini presented the scope of Shin Bet activity in the area and the work plan to address the threats, and referred to his remarks at the security cabinet last month about attempts to establish organizations of a military nature in the Bedouin diaspora. The discussion took place against the backdrop of the increasing phenomenon of smuggling of weapons and ammunition and theft of weapons from the IDF. Danilovich presented the development momentum of Be'er Sheva and the national missions, and praised the Shin Bet's operation. Zini emphasized the service's commitment to the security of Israeli citizens. The headline hints at doubt about the success of the calming, but the article does not present a failure.
