Chief-of-Staff Gadi Eisenkot of the Israel Defense Forces told the Knesset State Control Committee, Tuesday, that between 50,000 and 60,000 residents of the Palestinian Authority can be found in Israel at any given moment without permission to be outside the PA.

A number of said illegals have been involved in terror attacks. Speaking at a meeting on how Israel is dealing with the illegals, Eisenkott said the IDF has had significant success against terror through an aggressive preventative policy.
