Israeli police announced on Thursday the arrest of 25 workers from the West Bank who they stated had entered Israel illegally. The arrests occurred during a police operation in the towns of Kafr Qasim, Tayibe, and Jaljulia.
According to police, the operation also resulted in the seizure of a drone that a woman allegedly attempted to throw from a window, along with a Glock pistol and ammunition. Police did not provide further details regarding the identities of those arrested or the circumstances of their entry into Israel.
The police stated that the operation is part of their ongoing efforts to combat what they describe as "illegal residency" and "crime in Arab towns." This action comes amid continued police efforts to apprehend Palestinian workers from the West Bank who are alleged to be in Israel without permits, as well as their employers and suspected facilitators.
The police campaign targets both Palestinian workers and those who allegedly assist them, aiming to curb illegal entry and residency. The arrests in Kafr Qasim, Tayibe, and Jaljulia are part of this broader initiative.
