Police shutter construction site that employed Tel Aviv stabber
The Israel Police shuts down a construction site in the Tel Aviv suburb of Givatayim for illegally employing the 19-year-old Palestinian who stabbed an IDF soldier on Monday.
The Israeli employer hired the Palestinian man despite the fact that he did not have a legal permit to enter and work in Israel, police say.
It appears the site’s owner may also have provided housing for the worker, a police spokesperson says.
Construction at the site will be frozen for 15 days.
“The police call on the public to abide by the law and not employ, house or transport people who do not have legal permits,” a police statement says.
