Security forces launched a targeted operation named "Moadim LeSimcha" against arms smuggling infrastructure along the eastern border, seizing vehicles purchased with illicit funds.

Operation Objectives and Seizures

The joint operation involved the Judea and Samaria District Police (YAMAR Shai), the Jordan Border Unit, Central Command forces, MATILAN reconnaissance fighters, and Brigade 417.

  • Targeting Crime Drivers: Forces raided multiple targets and seized six vehicles belonging to individuals well-known to security agencies for weapons trafficking.

  • Immediate Confiscation: All seized vehicles were transferred for confiscation proceedings to strip suspects of assets acquired through criminal proceeds.

  • Economic Disruption: The operation aims to dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting weapons smuggling networks.

"We are expanding the use of economic enforcement tools to locate, seize, and confiscate property purchased from criminal activities. The message is clear: we will not allow criminal actors to profit," said Jordan Border Unit Commander Supt. Nir Sarusi.
