Hundreds of police and security officers raiding homes in Nazareth, Maalot, Daliyat al Karmel and other areas confiscated around one million shekels ($266,000) in cash, four rifles, three other guns, more than 1,000 seedlings found in two drug laboratories, and a stolen vehicle.

The police said 32 people suspected of involvement in shootings and other violent incidents were arrested.

Crime, particularly murder, has soared in the Israeli-Arab sector.
