Police commissioner: Number of infiltrators has grown dramatically
More than 11,000 African migrants were caught trying to cross the border from Egypt to Israel illegally over the past year, Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen said Tuesday. He noted that a larger amount of infiltrators managed to cross the border without being caught. "The national problem needs a national response," he said.
Cohen stated that he foresees crime spreading outside the infiltrator sector, a situation that will "serve as a breeding ground for abuse, human trafficking, violent incidents, murder and extortion." (Yair Altman)
