Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes that activities of manufacturing, exporting, importing, storing, transporting and trading in imitation firearms will require a license, and that the possession and carrying of imitation firearms may only take place in clubs that have received a license for this purpose. In addition, possession of imitation firearms outside of clubs, as well as purchasing, transporting, manufacturing, exporting, importing and trading in them without a license for this purpose, shall constitute a criminal offense. As a temporary provision for one year, it is established that permission may also be granted for the possession and carrying of an imitation firearm outside a club for training and competition purposes, in limited numbers and subject to conditions to be set in regulations. In addition, the supervisory powers of the Firearms Licensing Division were regulated, including the authority to demand identification, the provision of information and documents, and the authority to enter places, with the authority to enter residential places requiring a court order. It was also established that in exceptional cases of serious safety incidents, the director of the Firearms Licensing Division will be permitted to issue an administrative cessation order to a licensee for three days, or until a decision is made by the competent authority to revoke the license or to impose conditions and restrictions on it. Finally, the penalty provisions in the Law were amended, and criminal sanctions were added for performing actions involving an imitation firearm without a license and for failing to notify the police in the event of loss, theft or destruction of a firearm or imitation firearm.
