An undercover agent named "Tequila," a resident of the Arab sector, was operated by the Central Unit of the Jerusalem District for over six months. He infiltrated networks trading in weapons, drugs, and counterfeit money distribution, and made purchases of weapons from suspects. His operation led to the arrest of 24 suspects, residents of East Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and the seizure of 16 weapons: M-16 rifles, Uzis, and 12 pistols. Police say one of the operation's goals was to disrupt the supply chains of weapons and prevent them from reaching criminal and terrorist elements. With the completion of the arrest wave, a ceremony revealing the agent was held this morning in the Jerusalem District, where the purchased weapons were displayed. According to a police source, the use of undercover agents creates pressure within the criminal underworld and instills panic among criminals. The investigation continues, and police are expected to pursue legal proceedings against the suspects.
