Jerusalem, 1 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli Border Police detectives executed a targeted raid on a residential building in the central Arab city of Kafr Qasim, locating 74 Palestinians residing in the country without legal permits.

Operating under a court-issued search warrant, Central District undercover units conducted a sweep of the structure following intelligence regarding unauthorized entries.

Police investigators processed the suspects on-site to verify identities and document security infractions. Upon completing field interrogations, law enforcement authorities immediately expelled all 74 individuals back to Judea and Samaria.

The raid forms part of expanded nationwide enforcement measures to curb illegal entries, dismantle unauthorized housing networks, and reinforce domestic security boundaries across central Israel.
