ISRAEL POLICE ARREST 50 SUSPECTS IN MASSIVE NATIONWIDE EXTORTION CRACKDOWN: Approximately 500 Israeli police officers and Border Police personnel carried out coordinated raids across the country Monday morning, arresting 50 suspects accused of running protection rackets disguised as security services. According to police, criminal groups allegedly forced contractors to pay tens of thousands of shekels per construction site for security services that were never provided, while threatening the very properties they claimed to protect. The operation, led by the Coastal District and Lahav 433, followed a 10-month undercover investigation. The suspects are expected to appear in court for detention hearings.
