Jerusalem, 29 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The Israel Police said that a “broad operational activity” is taking place with the participation of hundreds of officers from the Southern District and Border Police in Tarabin, a Bedouin Village in the Negev. There is no suspicion of a security incident.
Hundreds of police officers and other security forces are conducting a full encirclement of the village of Tarabin as part of this activity.
The operation comes following what the police called “revenge operations” by alleged criminals in Tarabin at the end of the weekend and following the governance tour conducted by the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi on Sunday.
Locals protested the presence of Ben-Gvir in the village due to his right-wing policies.
“The activity is being carried out with force and determination, with the aim of strengthening governance, enforcing the rule of law, and providing a clear and decisive response to any attempt at serious criminal activity,” said the police.
“Israel Police is working toward full control of the area and will not allow harm to public security or public order,” it added.
