A targeted operation by Israel's Northern District Police against illegal weapons possession led to the discovery of a Kalashnikov assault rifle buried in the yard of a home in Nazareth.
Officers raided the residence of a 23-year-old Nazareth resident suspected of possessing combat weapons. The police initially conducted a thorough search inside the house but found nothing. After completing the indoor search, they turned their attention to the outdoor yard area.
Suspicion focused on a garden bed on the property, and officers began digging into the soil. Documentation from the operation shows police using a metal detector rod during the search, which ultimately led them to uncover the weapon concealed underground.
