The mountainous Arab Israeli gun problem has spiralled beyond control
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 7, 2016, 10:07 AM (IDT)
The mountainous quantities of illegal weapons, run-of-the-mill and exotic, in the hands of Israeli Arabs have grown to unmanageable proportions. No Israeli civilian police, or even military force, has the scale of manpower required to mount raids in Israeli Arab population centers for a comprehensive campaign to impound them – not even if backed by tanks and commando units. Nearly every home of the 1.5 m Arab minority keeps a gun, and Israeli Arabi crime families are the most notorious for gun play.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
