Israeli security forces, including Border Police from the southern region, the aerial unit of the Israel Police, and IDF soldiers, conducted a joint operation on Sunday to apprehend suspects involved in smuggling illegal immigrants into Israel. The operation focused on individuals suspected of providing transportation services to those crossing the "seam line," the border area separating Israel from the West Bank.
As darkness fell, forces were positioned along the southern seam line, utilizing an Israel Police helicopter for surveillance. They identified several suspects who had crossed the seam line and were heading towards two waiting vehicles on a nearby road. The drivers of these vehicles attempted to flee upon the arrival of the security forces but were quickly blocked and apprehended.
Simultaneously, the illegal immigrants attempted to escape on foot into open areas. Extensive searches by the forces led to the location and arrest of all suspects.
In total, 13 illegal immigrants and two suspected drivers were arrested and handed over to the Israel Police for further investigation. The two vehicles believed to have been used for transporting the illegal immigrants were seized.
