Israel arrests 42 Palestinians from Gaza in Nazareth: Reports

The Times of Israel is reporting that Israeli police have arrested 42 Palestinians from Gaza who had been living “illegally” in the Israeli city of Nazareth.

Quoting law enforcement officials, the newspaper said the Palestinians were detained on Monday night as part of an operation aimed at “preventing illegal residency offenses” and were taken from “three separate hideout apartments”.

The detainees have been transferred for questioning to the Nazareth police station, the news outlet added. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Media Office also reported on the arrests, saying those apprehended had been “working in the Nazareth area”.

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir praised law enforcement for the operation and described the detainees as “smugglers”.
