| [IsraelTimes] Police say they arrested a Palestinian who is illegally in Israel and his employer this morning near the home of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, who lives in Ramot Hashavim, between Hod Hasharon and Ra’anana. According to police, Border Police and Central District police officers were dispatched to the community after a report to emergency services of shouting heard in Arabic. During searches in a residential neighborhood, officers located an illegal entrant from the West Bank city of Tulkarem at a construction site, along with a suspect from the central Arab town of Kafr Qasim, approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from Ramot Hashavim, who allegedly employed him. Both suspects were detained and taken for questioning, police say. Police stress that employing, housing, or transporting people illegally in Israel poses a potential security risk and may serve as infrastructure for terror activity, adding that such offenses are treated with “zero tolerance.” |
