Discovering Underground Cannabis Operations in Negev
In a surprising discovery, Israeli police uncovered a 50-meter tunnel being used as a massive greenhouse for growing approximately 400 large cannabis plants in Negev. This operation, found coincidentally during a demolition, was equipped with advanced irrigation systems designed for large-scale cultivation. While the police continue to crackdown on such operations, this event underscores the challenges of surveillance and law enforcement in combatting unregulated cannabis cultivation. The full story is detailed in the Jerusalem Post.
