Police raided and shut down seven brothels in Haifa
and the vicinity in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Nineteen prostitutes were arrested, and four other
people suspected of operating the brothels inside apartment buildings were
also detained.
Police decided on the raid following numerous complaints
by residents.
"The suspects would rent apartments in the residential
complexes and then convert them into brothels, which became a major nuisance
for the other tenants," a senior police officer told Ynet.
Police officials said they hoped the raid would prevent
the opening of additional brothels in residential areas.
