The suspect was arrested shortly after committing the crimes; he was indicted for trespassing, theft, breaking and entering, and using a vehicle to commit a crime.
Israel Police filed an indictment on Tuesday against a man who allegedly dressed as an emergency worker and looted abandoned houses in Dimona the week before, following a highly destructive missile barrage.
The suspect, per the police report, arrived at the scene in a commercial vehicle, wearing a helmet in order to look more like an emergency response worker. He entered the homes of citizens who had been evacuated from the area, and loaded a large amount of valuables into his vehicle, including three air conditioner compressors, copper pipes and cables, and an electric motor.
He was arrested shortly thereafter, and on Tuesday was indicted for trespassing, theft, breaking and entering, and using a vehicle to commit a crime.
Over 100 wounded in Arad, Dimona, and North in direct hits amid barrage from Iran, Lebanon
Over 100 people were wounded throughout the day on March 21 after Iranian ballistic missilesdirectly struck residential buildings across southern Israel as Hezbollah pummeled northern Israeli border towns with rockets.
At least 47 were injured in Dimona after a building, reportedly a school, collapsed as a result of an impact from an Iranian munition, Magen David Adom said, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition. A woman in her 30s was moderately wounded by glass shards in the impact, it added.
Some 31 others were lightly wounded, including those wounded in at least 12 separate shrapnel impact sites across the southern Israeli city.
Later on Sunday, scores were wounded after a direct strike on the city of Arad, including seven in serious condition.
IDF sources confirmed that it failed to intercept missiles in both Dimona and Arad, adding that the military was investigating the incidents. The sources added that the missiles were of the kind that Israel has intercepted in the past.
