In forests and hideout apartments: massive raid against the phenomenon of child beggars on northern roads

Northern District police and Border Guard officers raided buildings, open areas, and junctions in Nazareth in an operation against the phenomenon of child beggars.

The children were sent to collect money at junctions for Israelis who brought them into the country, and they sleep in nearby groves.

Northern District police and Border Guard officers conducted a widespread raid in the Nazareth area against the phenomenon of child beggars on northern roads. Over the past two days, forces raided buildings, hiding places in open areas, and major junctions. More than 40 illegal residents were arrested, including a large number of young people. According to the police, the minors were brought into the territory, and several adults were arrested and brought before a court for an extension of their detention. The phenomenon, which involves placing children at major junctions to collect donations, has become a persistent nuisance in the north. Young mothers with babies cling to vehicles and ask for money, which ultimately reaches the Israelis who brought them into the country. The children sleep in nearby groves or in compounds set up for them.
