In a significant breakthrough, the Israel Police have successfully dismantled a Palestinian Authority extortion operation following a covert investigation.

The criminal cell targeted Israeli citizens by contacting them in an attempt to ransom stolen items. The investigation culminated in a series of police raids that led to the arrest of several suspects.
