Police raid Jaffa business and order 30-day closure after finding illegal worker

Police have shut down a business on Jaffa’s main commercial street following a raid that resulted in the arrest of two people and a mandatory 30-day closure order. The operation targeted an establishment on Yifat Street, where authorities discovered an undocumented worker illegally employed at the premises. According to police, a 54-year-old resident of Jba was found working at the business without the required permit to remain in Israel. The discovery triggered enforcement action against both the workplace and those responsible for the employment violation. The 30-day closure order effectively halts operations at the business, marking a significant enforcement action in one of Jaffa’s central commercial areas. The case reflects ongoing efforts by Israeli authorities to combat illegal employment and ensure compliance with labour and immigration regulations.
