Israeli police shut down three businesses in Bnei Brak on Thursday afternoon, arresting illegal residents at two of them and seizing materials suspected of being dangerous drugs at the third, according to a report by N12. Indictments were filed against the illegal residents, who had been employed at a car wash and a construction materials business.
Police closed three businesses in Bnei Brak during an enforcement operation Thursday afternoon, N12 reported. At two of the establishments — a car wash and a construction materials business — officers arrested illegal residents who were working there without permits. At the third business, police seized materials suspected of being dangerous drugs. Indictments were filed against the illegal residents.
This operation follows a similar closure earlier Thursday afternoon, reported by The Zioneer at 15:33, in which police shut down several Bnei Brak businesses for employing workers without permits. Those arrests occurred at the same two establishments (the car wash and construction materials business), and The Zioneer's earlier bulletin reported that closures had been ordered and those specific arrests were pending. Thursday's enforcement pattern — now totaling at least six businesses closed across Bnei Brak in one day — reflects an intensified police campaign targeting illegal employment and drug-related offenses in the city.
Details on the drug-related seizure, including the type and quantity of substances, have not yet been released. It is unclear whether the business owners face charges beyond the closure orders.
