Israeli Border Police forces arrested three people on Tuesday suspected of organizing transportation for undocumented Palestinian workers entering Israel. The forces uncovered a fake floor, covering a small chamber where 17 illegal Palestinians were hiding, Ynet reports.
“A report was received at the start of the week, indicating that the bus was making its way from the West Bank into Israel, where forces were on hand to intercept it,” the police said.
“Border Police forces inspected the bus where 17 undocumented Palestinians were hiding, using an improvised cavity under the bus floor. Forces found it and saw stairs leading down into a chamber under the bus,” the statement said. “Forces arrested the bus driver, who was found to be without a driver’s license, as well as two other accomplices.”
When asked why they were hiding under the floors of the bus, one of the undocumented Palestinians told Israeli police: “Where else should we have hidden, under the seats? That’s not a very good hiding place, wouldn’t you agree?”
I knew you’d come up with another hit.
