01 · THE DISPATCH

Jerusalem district police officers conducting an operation Monday evening discovered seven children crammed in the trunk of a vehicle belonging to an East Jerusalem resident. The driver was summoned for a legal hearing, according to a brief police statement. The children were not reported harmed. The incident follows a separate case earlier this month in which a driver from the Beit Hanina neighborhood was arrested for driving with his eight-month-old son on his lap; that child was also unharmed, as The Zioneer reported at the time. No further details on the children's ages, the circumstances of the discovery, or the specific charges were immediately available.
