Israeli Unit Combats Online Child Exploitation
The Israeli police unit 105, operating under Lahav 433, reports more than 76,000 hotline reports since its February 2018 launch through end-2025, including 16,292 in 2025 and 9,511 in 2024. The joint police-civilian center handles sextortion, AI impersonation, bullying and suicidal distress, and cites a major Ori Alfi investigation leading to multiple indictments. Officials say AI tools complicate suspect identification and prompt expanded prevention efforts.
