Israeli security forces apprehended nine individuals without legal status during a nighttime operation in the city of Umm el-Fahm. The raid, conducted by detectives from the Israel Prison Service's central unit and local police, targeted a residential complex. Among those detained were five residents from Gaza and four from Judea and Samaria. Police reported that all individuals were taken to stations for further investigation.
During the search of the premises, authorities discovered various types of ammunition, which were seized for ballistic examination. The operation involved the "Nachshon" special unit of the prison service, responsible for transporting high-risk detainees.
Following initial interrogations, seven of the detainees were transferred to specialized detention facilities for extended arrest and potential imprisonment. The remaining two were handed over to relevant services for deportation processing. Police are investigating who provided the residential complex to the undocumented individuals and the origin of the seized ammunition.
Authorities are also looking into the possibility of legal action against property owners and employers who allowed individuals without proper documentation to reside or work in the country. These checks are part of ongoing efforts by Israeli law enforcement to prevent illegal stays and security-related crimes, particularly in the northern region.
