Large forces of Northern District police and Border Police fighters operated Monday morning in the city of Nazareth and Kaabia Tabash against the Bakri criminal gang. Sixteen suspects were detained on suspicion of involvement in violent incidents due to a conflict between criminals.
The name of the Bakri crime gang has been linked to criminal activity in northern Israel. The gang collects, among other things, protection money, extortion, numerous violent incidents and shootings, and is suspected of being linked to brutal murders in recent years.

During the operation, motorcycles, vehicles, a large quantity of gold, and checks and cash amounting to over a million shekels were seized, which were allegedly received as part of criminal activity.
