US EditionIsrael Police Uncover over 60 Palestinians in Garbage Truck in Smuggling Attempt
Police found more than 60 Palestinian stowaways in a garbage truck, and the driver was arrested after a routine inspection.
- At the Cross-Shomron checkpoint, police discovered more than 60 Palestinians hiding inside a garbage truck during a routine inspection, arresting the driver, a Kafr Qasim resident, for lacking proper documentation.
- Around 100,000 Palestinians had work permits revoked following Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack, while almost 80 per cent of the population now relies entirely on humanitarian aid, forcing many toward illegal entry.
- The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs recorded "severe" movement restrictions lasting over 12 hours with "widespread" road gates and checkpoints, compelling individuals toward dangerous clandestine crossings into Israeli-occupied territory.
- Footage shows occupants exiting with hands raised, greeted by multiple armed officers, after authorities extracted and detained the stowaways for questioning at the scene.
