RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Israeli police in the 1948 occupied Palestinian land rounded up 600 Palestinian workers from the West Bank for working in those lands without permit. The Israeli radio said on Wednesday night that the border police launched a large-scale arrest campaign, and said that 8 of those arrested were wanted for interrogation while the rest were jailed for illegally residing in 1948 occupied Palestine. Thousands of Palestinian workers head to the 1948 lands in search of jobs due to scarce work opportunities in the West Bank and worsening economic conditions.
