Israel Border Police officers discovered five people illegally present in Israel hiding behind a false wall in a commercial vehicle at the Eastern Ring Road Checkpoint near Jerusalem, police said on Wednesday.
Officers inspecting the vehicle became suspicious after noticing a metal partition blocking its rear section. They removed part of the interior paneling and uncovered a concealed compartment.
The five allegedly hid in an attempt to pass through the checkpoint undetected. They and the driver were detained for further questioning.
