Israel's border with Egypt has become increasingly unstable due to the activities of Bedouin cartels, arms smuggling, and the use of drones. Local leaders, such as Eran Doron of the Ramat Negev Regional Council, have voiced concerns about daily gunfire and the government's response to the escalating situation. The convergence of internal and external threats has created a complex security challenge for Israel in this region. Residents are left questioning the effectiveness of current measures as the area becomes a focal point for both criminal and security issues.
