Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s military is giving the public two extra days to surrender illegally held military property after a return drive brought in more than 300,000 items.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched the initiative on Nov. 1, setting up 62 collection stations at bases nationwide and offering immunity from prosecution to those turning in weapons and equipment. The haul includes approximately 210 firearms, 3,800 grenades, mortars and launchers, 8,700 uniforms and other textile items, and 1,600 pieces of combat gear, the military said.
The campaign will now run through Monday. The military warned that legal immunity would expire afterward and enforcement would resume.
