Israeli Member of Knesset Isaac Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) discovered a substantial drug lab while touring the area near Tzalim in the Negev desert. The lab was located within a live-fire zone. Accompanied by Green Patrol inspectors, Kroizer took direct action to dismantle and burn the drug production facility. This intervention highlights concerns about illicit activity in the region. The discovery underscores the presence of drug operations even in restricted military areas. Authorities are investigating how the lab operated undetected within the training grounds. The incident has sparked discussion about border security and law enforcement effectiveness in the Negev.
