An IDF soldier detained by police after he was found driving illegal Palestinian residents from Hebron was interrogated Friday and released pending further questioning.
The soldier was detained by Border Guard officers near Gedera and brought in for questioning in Rehovot, where police discovered he had also been driving without a license.
On Thursday police received a tip that illegal Palestinian workers were riding into Israel in a Mazda vehicle. Border Guard officers identified the vehicle near Gedera and detained it. They found the soldier and three Palestinians from Hebron inside.
The Palestinians' personal belongings and tools were found in the vehicle's trunk. The driver was found to be an enlisted IDF soldier who was driving without a license.
The soldier claimed during questioning that he had picked up the three Palestinians as hitchhikers and that he had not received payment for driving them.
