Police in Holon arrested four suspects, aged 19 to 45, after a 19-year-old IDF soldier was robbed of his rifle at knifepoint in an apartment, according to The Jerusalem Post. The Jerusalem Post reported that police received a call on Friday about a robbery on Henrietta Szold Street in Holon. The soldier was heading to an acquaintance's apartment carrying his personal service weapon, an M-16 rifle, when suspects inside robbed him at knifepoint. The rifle was still missing as of press time, and police were searching for it. On Saturday night a court extended the suspects' detention until Wednesday. The soldier was also arrested by military police, and his detention was extended until Monday. The material gave no further details on the motive. The arrests come amid the IDF's anonymous equipment hand-in operation, which began on November 1 and lets citizens return weapons and military equipment without fear of prosecution. The military said on Thursday that more than 300,000 items had been returned, and it extended the operation by two days, to November 16. Once it ends, immunity for participants expires and enforcement against unlawful possession of military equipment resumes.
