Israel Border Police (Magav) volunteer fighters arrested 16 illegal entrants inside a minibus and one additional suspect who was driving them, near the entrance to the community of Regavim. Among the detainees are two minors, none holding permits to enter Israel, police said.
Border Police volunteer fighters arrested 16 illegal residents traveling in a minibus, along with a suspected driver, close to the entrance of Regavim, a community in the central region. Two of the detained are minors. Police stated that none of the individuals held permits to enter Israel. The operation highlights ongoing efforts to stem illegal entry, which have been reported repeatedly this month in areas including Jerusalem, Nof HaGalil, and the Maccabim Crossing, as The Zioneer has previously covered. The detention of the driver suggests the probe may extend to smuggling networks facilitating such entries.
