01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli police arrested eight illegal residents (shohim bilti hukiyim) during a raid on a restaurant on Kedron Street in Jaffa on Monday evening, according to N12. The employer, a 53-year-old resident of the Sharon region, was also detained, and police initiated a licensing process to close the business.

The operation follows a pattern of police enforcement against businesses suspected of hiring illegal residents in the Tel Aviv area. Earlier this month, The Zioneer reported on administrative closure orders for two Tel Aviv eateries on similar grounds, and police shut down three Bnei Brak businesses for employing illegal residents. Unlike those cases, which involved multiple business owners and suspected drug seizures, Monday's action targeted a single restaurant and its employer. The arrested individuals face hearings; further details on the suspects' identities and the employer's legal status are pending.
