As part of the ongoing crackdown on criminal organizations, a 'Carlo' submachine gun was discovered on Monday hidden at the Mandarin Hotel in Tel Aviv. The operation was conducted by the Israel Prison Service (IPS) special unit and the Israel Police against the backdrop of a violent conflict between criminal elements in the center of the country.

The operation involved detectives from the IPS special unit and the Northern District, police officers from the North Tel Aviv station, and Border Police fighters from the Central District. While the owner of the weapon has not yet been identified, authorities believe it is linked to the conflict between the Musli and Jarushi criminal organizations.

The weapon has been transferred for forensic analysis, and the investigation is ongoing at the North Tel Aviv station. Both the IPS and the police stated they will continue their coordinated efforts to locate weaponry and thwart criminal activity.

Court Order

According to a court decision, Yossi Musli has been prohibited from entering Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Ramat Gan, Umm al-Fahm, Jaljulia, Ramle, and Lod for 60 days. Furthermore, he was ordered to remain under full house arrest until September 19. Until August 16, he stayed at his father's house in Tel Aviv, after which he was moved to full house arrest at his home in Savyon.

Musli is also prohibited from contacting any individuals listed in the court document, except for his father. Additionally, he is barred from using the internet and messaging applications, and is prohibited from leaving the country for 60 days.

In the police request for the order, it was noted that a severe criminal conflict is occurring between Musli and the Jarushi organization, involving suspected grenade attacks, shootings, and the use of explosive devices. Based on intelligence, the police argued that Musli’s free movement poses a significant risk. A similar order was issued months ago against Ismail Jarushi, who chose to comply with the restrictions while remaining outside of Israel.
