The Israeli police on Thursday said they arrested 98 Palestinian workmen recently inside Israel (the 1948 occupied land) at the pretext they had no entry or work permits.
A spokeswoman said that those workmen were detained last week adding that 44 of them are still in police custody and the others were released and sent back to Palestinian areas.
She also said that 21 shops had been closed by the Israeli police since 2016 for employing undocumented Palestinians.
The phenomenon of West Bank workers in Israel resulted from Israel’s prolonged occupation of their territories that prevented the Palestinians from having an independent economy and made their living conditions very difficult.
