In a dramatic standoff between police and a suspected dealer in Jerusalem Wednesday afternoon, the suspect barricaded himself in his home and threatened to harm himself.

But Israeli police were having none of it. A Special Patrol Unit arriving on the scene broke inside despite the threats of self-harm and arrested the man.

The story got stranger when they recovered a knife and — of all things — a toy gun at the scene.

Wednesday was apparently the day for drug arrests. Police announced today the arrest of nine suspected drug dealers across the country, the successful culmination of three months’ undercover work.

The undercover agent pretended to be a client seeking to buy drugs, and in the course of the “purchases,” collected information on each unsuspecting suspect, which he then passed to the police.

As the police conducted the arrests, they seized piles of cash, drugs, and even vehicles.
