Israeli security forces conducted a large-scale operation in Nazareth, arresting 42 illegal residents from Gaza across three locations. Police seized goods and continue investigations.
Israeli security forces detained 42 Palestinians from Gaza overnight in Nazareth, uncovering three separate hideouts in a coordinated sweep targeting illegal residents.
According to police, the operation carried out by Northern District officers and Border Police units, was part of an intensified campaign to curb illegal residency and related criminal activity.
The first raid targeted a building where 28 individuals were found without legal permits, alongside a large quantity of goods whose ownership remains under investigation. In a second location, officers discovered 11 more illegal residents, and in a third hideout, three additional suspects were apprehended.
An initial field investigation confirmed that all 42 detainees are residents of the Gaza Strip. Both the individuals and the seized merchandise were transferred to the Nazareth police station for further questioning.
Police said such operations will continue “as part of ongoing efforts to enforce the law and protect public safety.”
