| 2026-08-14 |
| [IsraelTimes] Police say officers found a stash of weapons and ammunition in a Rahat residential compound that houses a kindergarten. A video distributed by police shows an officer unpacking an assault rifle from a bag he pulled out of a hole in the ground in what appears to be a playground. Police and National Guard officers raided the compound after receiving a report that a vehicle was shot at in the southern Bedouin city, police say in a statement. A suspect in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the shooting, as well as on suspicion of possession of firearms and ammunition, the statement says. It does not specify when the arrest, raid or shooting took place. Nor does it directly link the suspect to the arms cache.
