As part of the arrest operation, 34 suspects in weapons and drug offenses were arrested.
This, at the end of long months of covert activity and extensive intelligence work, which included, among other things, the operation of a covert agent in Arab localities in the north.
During the visit of the Acting Commissioner and the Minister, a ceremony was held to award a police officer certificate to the undercover agent.
"The fight against crime in Arab society has been set by me as a central target for the treatment of the Israeli police. This must be translated into action," Ohana said at the ceremony.
"Most Arab society is law-abiding and desperate for the treatment of the police. There is a hard fight against crime and organized crime."
He clarified that "we will use iron fists in crime and criminals. Anyone who enters the boxing arena also knows how to kidnap. The fight will end with the hand of the police on the top."
Central District Commander, Superintendent Shimon Lavi, told Walla!
NEWS that "in a real fight against criminal organizations, not one that sits in the stands and applauds, is a boxing arena and everyone gets hurt. We have a way and a goal in the end to eliminate the criminal organizations. Anyone who thinks there is a prescription for short-term medication is wrong. We are determined and see the end and the end. "
He said, "Just a week ago, an indictment was filed in the case of the massive shooting at the banks. The shooting at the banks was intended to convey a message from the criminals to the police: 'Get off our backs.' We will not get off their backs.

According to the suspect, the recent events occurred as part of a protracted conflict between rival families.
In total, since 2000, 1,521 Arabs have been killed in such and other violent incidents, 80% of them with firearms.
The number of murders has been steadily rising year after year, for six years in a row since the center began surveillance in 2014, when there were 51 - less than half of the murders a year last year.
