During a proactive operational activity yesterday by police officers from the Arad station in the Rotem area, in cooperation with IDF forces, a proactive blockade was placed in the hotel square in the northern Dead Sea.
During the activity, a truck was stopped for inspection. An inspection of the truck's bed revealed illegal residents of Judea and Samaria who had been removed among furniture and were on their way to work in Israeli territory.
Meanwhile, 9 illegal residents were arrested at the scene, along with the driver suspected of transporting them and their employer, and were transferred for further investigation and treatment to the Arad station, and the truck was seized.
