43 Palestinians illegally residing in Israel’s Jaffa arrested
Jaffa police arrested Palestinians
43 illegal residents from the Palestinian areas were arrested in Jaffa when police officers carried out what was described a "proactive and focused activity" in the Jaffa area due to concerns about employing or lodging illegal aliens.
Two of the illegal residents were arrested while traveling in a car.
In addition, the police located 41 illegal aliens in two apartments on a street in the Jaffa area.
The police said that at this stage the investigation into the employers of the Palestinians who had no permits for working or being in Israel continues, and possible criminal charges against them are being examined.
The police stressed that contractors and citizens who employ and offer accommodations to residents of the Palestinian areas without a residence or work permit endanger themselves and the public.
