When we refer to the PA (Palestinian Authority) in Israel, sadly, it is synonymous with illegals inside Green Line Israel perpetrating terror attacks, lynching innocent persons who accidently enter PA areas, tainted eggs, black market shechita, e-coli vegetables and stealing water by tapping into Israeli sources. We now add cattle rustling to the illustrious contributions the PA makes to daily Israeli society.
Cross-Border Enforcement: The Border Police officers of the Israel Police and IDF forces brought the arrest of six Palestinians, members of a cattle thief operation, and the detention of four other suspects, all of them residents of the village of Idna in the Yehuda Brigade in Judea.
Police attribute the theft or a large number of cattle that took place in recent months in the southern district, thefts in which they managed to penetrate Israeli territory and to steal dozens of heads of cattle. The police also attribute the theft of a number of SUVs to the suspects.
Among the suspects in custody is a father and two sons. In addition, four persons were detained in the framework of the investigation. Police also found and confiscated three ATVs believed to be stolen along with thousands of shekels in cash.
The suspects were arraigned on Tuesday, at which time police asked to extend their remand. The six Idna suspects range in age from 25 to 50.

In countries, and along borders, in which the police are primarily concerned with terrorists, saboteurs, invaders, etc. – there is often an open opportunity for criminals to grow their business. What’s worse, it can take generations for the criminals to go out of business after the conflict in. Lawlessness in places such as Southern Italy and South Africa can be traced to conflicts that are generally only known to historians.
