Border Police forces in the Jerusalem envelope and undercover operatives uncovered a sophisticated underground passage near the village of al-Ram on Monday night. The route, which allegedly facilitated the smuggling of illegal infiltrators from Judea and Samaria into Israel via the Beit Hanina area, utilized existing sewer infrastructure. The entrance to the passage was cleverly concealed beneath a commercial vehicle parked directly above it, allowing access from the vehicle's passenger compartment without raising suspicion. During the operation, authorities apprehended 32 illegal infiltrators who had used the tunnel, along with four additional suspects believed to have assisted them. All 36 individuals were arrested and transferred for further investigation by the Border Police's investigation and intelligence division in the Jerusalem envelope.
