During Purim: Judea and Samaria Border Guard soldiers, together with Central Border Guard detectives, operated last night (Sunday) under intelligence guidance from the central unit at the Border Guard, as part of the national operation to detain illegal residents.
The forces ambushed a truck that left Judea and Samaria and stopped it on Route 55, near the Alfei Menashe intersection - using advanced operational and technological means.
In a search conducted by the forces while raiding the truck, they located 28 illegal residents, who were hiding behind a double wall disguised as a truck transporting furniture.
The truck driver and the illegal residents were arrested and transferred for further investigation to the Investigations and Intelligence Division of the Judea and Samaria Border Police.
This morning, the truck driver, a 21-year-old resident of Kfar Kana, was brought to the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court and his detention was extended by four days.
