250 Palestinian Authority Arabs from Ramallah, Jenin, Shechem and other PA-assigned cities were located by the Eilat District Police and Border Guard officers in two hotels in the city on Thursday night.
The Arabs, considered to be illegal aliens in Israel, arrived in a number of buses as part of a group vacation organized by a travel company operating in eastern Jerusalem. The owner and manager of the travel company, residents of eastern Jerusalem aged 47 and 19, were detained for questioning on suspicion of organizing transportation for illegal aliens and assisting illegal aliens.
