Weapon will pursue weapon: 'It's coming in hysterical quantities. Drones bring crazy weapons here'
נשק נשק תרדוף: "זה נכנס בכמויות היסטריות. הרחפנים מביאים לפה כלים מטורפים"
Summary
Police are making more arrests, prosecutors filing more charges and courts handing down more convictions, yet in the Negev curbing the flood of illegal weapons is described as trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. Officials say seizures are rising because quantities are rising, with drones now smuggling in advanced arms. Judges warn against 'losing a region to militias of outlaws,' and authorities tout new penalties, including confiscating offenders' vehicles.

המשטרה עוצרת יותר, הפרקליטות מאשימה יותר ובתי המשפט מרשיעים יותר. אבל בנגב, זה כמו לנסות לרוקן את האוקיינוס עם כפית. "יש עלייה בתפיסות כי יש עלייה בכמויות", מסבירים בפרקליטות דרום, אך מזהים ניצני שינוי שעוד רחוק מלהספיק - וגם השופטים מזהירים: "שלא נאבד חבל ארץ למיליציות של פורעי חוק". הענישה החדשה: "מאסר? הרכב החדש הרבה יותר כואב"Related dispatches
