43 Palestinians residing illegally in Israel arrested

Tel Aviv [Israel], October 8 (ANI/TPS): 43 illegal residents from the Palestinian areas were arrested in Jaffa when police officers carried out what was described a "proactive and focused activity" in the Jaffa area due to concerns about employing or lodging illegal aliens.
Two of the illegal residents were arrested while traveling in a car.
In addition, the police located 41 illegal aliens in two apartments on a street in the Jaffa area.
The police said that at this stage the investigation into the employers of the Palestinians who had no permits for working or being in Israel continues, and possible criminal charges against them is being examined.
