Jerusalem, 7 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Jerusalem District Police, including Border Police and municipal enforcement units, detained seven Palestinians found without valid permits during an operation in the city’s Mea Shearim neighborhood.
Police said the operation, which included inspections of local workshops, faced disruption from local residents who threw objects at officers attempting to interfere with the enforcement action.
Officers issued 15 fines, including eight for dangerous traffic violations and six for placing obstacles and merchandise on public streets. The seven detained Palestinians were transferred to a police station for questioning.
Mea Shearim is a predominantly ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood; friction with law enforcement operations there is not uncommon.
