Border Police officers operating near the A-Zaim checkpoint in Jerusalem stopped a suspicious vehicle yesterday. During the inspection, officers discovered six undocumented individuals inside the car, all lacking permits to be in Israel. The driver, who was also an undocumented resident, was found to have grown peyot (sidelocks) and was wearing Haredi attire, including a kippah, in an apparent attempt to disguise his identity and evade detection. Further investigation revealed that the vehicle's license plates had been replaced and it had been removed from road use. All seven individuals, identified as residents of the Hebron and Tulkarm areas, were arrested and transferred to the Border Police's investigative unit for further processing. The vehicle was impounded.
