Police report that a PA (Palestinian Authority) resident is in custody after apprehended running a fraudulent permit operation, selling permits to enter “Green Line” Israel for NIS 2,000. He obtained bogus entry permits for payment from PA residents.

Following the police investigation over recent months, which began with the arrests of PA residents attempting to enter ‘Israel proper’ with forged permits, a resident of PA-occupied Hebron was taken into custody over the weekend.

He was charging NIS 2,000 monthly for the forged documents in addition to providing illegals with classes addressing how to avoid inspection and border police at checkpoints.

The 31-year-old suspect was arraigned before a military court on Sunday, 23 Shevat. The prosecution requested holding him without bail.
