In one of the recent nights, the Jerusalem Police together with Border Police forces exposed the scale of the phenomenon once again: dozens of illegal Palestinian workers were discovered hiding in different corners of the city and in an Arab village near Jerusalem. Some tried to blend into the local routine, others chose to conceal themselves behind walls or under blankets. The outcome was a series of arrests, criminal files opened, and the suspects returned to the West Bank<\/p>\n
During the operation, spread across the capital with emphasis on East Jerusalem, police officers and Border Police fighters located 24 illegal Palestinians. Alongside them, a suspect who had driven some of them in his car was also arrested. All were taken in for questioning, and criminal proceedings were launched<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the Arab village near Jerusalem, including the town known as Abu Ghosh, detectives from the Harel station entered a local construction site and found one illegal worker sitting inside heavy machinery. Further searches revealed three more suspects hiding in a container and another three sleeping on mattresses inside a nearby office<\/p>\n
