Chinese Nationals Caught in Illegal-Entry Cases at Israel Border; Smuggling Facilitator Deported
Two recent cases of Chinese nationals attempting to enter Israel illegally for work have been intercepted, CCTV and China News Service reported on October 19. In one case, a Chinese national was caught trying to enter Israel through a border crossing with Jordan using forged documents. In another, a Chinese national attempting to sneak into Israel from Jordan was captured by Jordanian law enforcement, while the person's facilitator inside Israel was detained, had their work visa revoked and has been deported.
According to the reports, smugglers have recently claimed they can bring people into Israel to work through tourism or "special channels," and have been caught by Israeli police and immigration authorities on multiple occasions. Participants face imprisonment, deportation and long-term entry bans. Lawful workers in Israel who assist smuggling - by meeting people at the border, transporting them or providing accommodation - likewise face visa revocation, detention and deportation even if their visas are valid.
