The Tel Aviv District police commander signed an administrative closure order for a construction site on Ben Gurion Street in Bat Yam on Thursday afternoon, after five illegal residents from Judea and Samaria were arrested there. According to N12, the suspects were allegedly employed and housed at the site without permits. They were taken for questioning and subsequently jailed. An investigation was also opened against the employer, a resident of southern Israel, who was released under restrictive conditions.
The closure order follows a pattern of enforcement actions by Israeli police against construction sites and businesses employing illegal residents. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Bat Yam police located an illegal resident from Nablus at a business in the city and issued an administrative closure order until August 20. In recent weeks, similar orders have been issued for sites in Tel Aviv, Kiryat Gat, and Beit Shemesh, with arrests ranging from single individuals to 43 illegal residents captured at a Kiryat Ono construction site in early July. The enforcement effort targets the employment, transport, and housing of undocumented residents, which authorities view as a security and labor-law concern.
