Israel Bong Bust Nets 15,000 Marijuana Water Pipes

Israeli police claim to have seized thousands of marijuana bongs in a raid on a factory in northern Israel.

Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says police entered the building in Haifa this week and confiscated 15,000 bongs that were planned for distribution, also arresting the factory's 60-year-old owner.

A common sight at kiosks throughout Israel, pipes and other smoking paraphernalia were banned a few weeks ago and police are cracking down.

The majority of marijuana is smuggled into Israel by Bedouin across the porous border with Egypt. The rest comes from Gaza and Lebanon, though these routes are less common due to recent hostilities.
