Israeli police apprehended more than 40 individuals staying illegally in Israel, including many minors under the age of 12, during a two-day operation in the Nazareth area. The operation targeted the kibbutz of Nadvot and focused on central roads where police stated the presence of individuals seeking alms poses a danger to both themselves and drivers. Officers from the Northern District and Border Police forces raided several structures, hiding places in open areas, and key intersections in and around Nazareth. Those apprehended were taken to police stations for further processing. Following coordination with Palestinian Authority officials, the minors were transferred to Palestinian territory. Several adults were arrested and brought before a court, with police requesting their detention be extended. Authorities emphasized that beyond the suspected illegal stay, the activity on the roads disrupts public order, traffic, and poses a safety risk. The police also stated they are acting against those who facilitate the entry and stay of illegal migrants in Israel.
