The Israel Police's fight against criminal organizations:
In recent months, the Israel Police has employed an undercover agent, who has led to the indictment of dozens of suspects.
The suspects operated drug trafficking lines, which serve as an economic conduit for the criminal organizations, including Domrani's organization.

The covert and unique investigation lasted about four months, and was conducted by the Central Unit of the Lachish Region in the Southern District, accompanied by the Prosecution Division of the Police and the Southern Attorney's Office. From the cities of Ashdod, Ashkelon, Kiryat Malachi, Kiryat Gat and Sderot, most of them belong directly to Domrani's criminal organization, and operate under its auspices.
The agent who was recruited for the task by the Israel Police's agent agents, for a long time underwent training that was carefully adapted to the criminal figure built for him, and allowed him to penetrate using the telegrass network, the circle of criminals.
An operation made possible by an undercover policeman in the Israel Police,
The main goal defined in this activity was to attack the economic oxygen pipeline of the criminal organizations, which are the drug lines, in order to fatally impair their ability to earn funds that allow them to continue operating.
This is how the police hoped to influence the map of crime in the Lachish area, and in Israel as a whole.
The agent was dispatched by his operatives at the SAR to benefit from a variety of transactions with carefully selected intelligence targets.
This is how the operators of the drug trafficking lines that flow money directly to the criminal organizations and gangs were identified.
All this, using minors to make the transactions.
Drugs - the economic oxygen conduit of organizations,
During more than 60 drug deals, the agent managed to purchase dangerous crystal and marijuana drugs worth tens of thousands of shekels, and indicted 34 suspects, including a senior member of the organization - most of them from the Ashkelon area.
In the early morning hours, police forces, including Lachish Lt. Col., Yoav Unit, Border Police fighters and the dog unit, raided the suspects' homes, where dangerous drugs, a gun, stun grenades and vehicles were seized.
They were arrested for questioning in the central unit of the Lachish area.

As part of the arrest operation, the police forces arrested three suspects from Ashkelon, on suspicion of involvement in a shooting incident on October 16, 21 on Roots Street in Ashkelon, against the background of a criminal dispute and a struggle for control of drug lines - in which a person was injured and sought medical treatment.
Today, as mentioned, the cracking ceremony took place in the Lachish area, in the presence of Police Commissioner Ranat Yaakov (Kobi) Shabtai, Southern District Commander Peretz Amar, Lt. Gen. Yaakov Zrihan, Head of the Intelligence Division and Lachish Area Commander Barak Mordechai.
