Israeli security forces foiled a brazen infiltration attempt late last night (Monday) at the Shomron Crossing in Judea and Samaria.
During a routine inspection of a garbage truck traveling from Palestinian Authority areas toward central Israel, officers from the Defense Ministry’s Crossings Authority discovered 68 Palestinians crammed inside the truck’s compactor, the rear waste-crushing section.
The group was attempting to sneak illegally into Israel hidden among the trash.
The driver, an Arab-Israeli man in his 30s from Kafr Qasim, was arrested on the spot. He was found to be operating the vehicle without a valid license for that class.
All 68 individuals were safely removed from the truck and taken into custody by police and IDF forces for questioning.
