Police arrest 26 Palestinians for entering Israel illegally

Israel Police officers stop a bus in the Arab Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm and find 26 Palestinians from the West Bank who are in Israel illegally.

A 27th man on the bus, also a West Bank Palestinian, had an entry permit.

The entire group is placed under arrest and taken for questioning. Within a few hours, 16 are released back to the West Bank, while police seek extended remands for the rest.
