Fourteen Palestinians from the Gaza Strip were detained by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Qalqilya last night.
The military says that the Gazans entered Israel before the October 7, 2023, onslaught with valid work permits.
However, following October 7, Israel revoked all permits for Gazans to enter Israel and closed the border crossings.
The 14 apprehended Gazans are set to be deported back to the Strip.
Numerous Gazans remained in Israel when Hamas launched its cross-border attack, but many have since been returned to the Strip. Some have relocated to the West Bank, like the 14 detained last night.
The military says it is working to locate any remaining Gazans in the West Bank, and also deport them back to the Strip.
