Israeli police and Border Patrol forces arrested 11 illegal residents found hiding behind a plasterboard wall at a construction site in Beit Shemesh on Wednesday afternoon. According to law enforcement sources, the suspects were discovered during an inspection, and a closure order was immediately issued against the site for 30 days.
The operation is part of ongoing enforcement against illegal residency and the employment of undocumented workers in the construction sector. As The Zioneer has reported, similar arrests and site closures have occurred in recent weeks at locations across the country, including Beit Hanina, Hodaya, and Beit Safafa. This incident underscores the persistence of the phenomenon and the authorities' focus on construction sites as a common venue for employing illegal residents.
No details have been provided on the nationalities or identities of the detainees, nor on who employed them.
