In a coordinated operation targeting drug cultivation, production, and trafficking, police from the Western Galilee along with Border Patrol's tactical unit and K-9 teams conducted a raid in the Hof area. Their mission: to locate drug labs.
During the operation, authorities raided a private home in the village of Yarka, executing a court-issued search warrant. Officers were astounded to find a hidden underground bunker in the living room, which served as a cannabis processing lab. Inside, they seized over 70 kilograms of cannabis along with hundreds of plants and sophisticated electronic equipment used for lab operations.
A man in his 40s, who was present at the residence, was arrested on suspicion of drug-related offenses. He was taken into custody for questioning at the Western Galilee police station following the conclusion of the operation.
