Illegal Hunting

After being arrested on suspicion of being members of a protection racket, the suspects were found with hunting equipment, porcupine meat, and a live young porcupine that was released back into the wild, "saved moments before the slaughter." A case was opened against all four for suspected illegal hunting of wildlife using prohibited methods and possession of protected natural values.

During a raid in the village of A-Ram, Border Police forces discovered an Israeli gazelle fawn being kept in captivity. The suspect was detained, and the animal was transferred for veterinary care.
