After an evening that lasted for hours, Civil Administration personnel, together with Nahal soldiers, apprehended Palestinians who had carried out illegal quarrying. 12 tools worth hundreds of thousands of shekels were confiscated.
The Palestinians have been operating illegal quarries for many years, in the framework of which they carry out unprecedented and irreparable destruction of mountains in Judea and Samaria. This is a very disturbing phenomenon that causes severe damage to the soil alongside air pollution. As part of the struggle against these quarries, members of the Civil Administration, the Ramallah DCO and the Ephraim Brigade carried out an ambush in which Palestinians were caught.
