The Civil Administration stopped four attempts in the past 24 hours to transport roughly 90 tons of waste destined for illegal dumping sites in ‘Palestinian’ Authority territory. Four trucks were seized at various crossings throughout Judea and Samaria.
One truck carrying construction debris was intercepted at the Mizmoria crossing. Three more trucks were later seized: one at the Tunnels crossing carrying scrap metal and electronic waste, another at the A-Zaim crossing with construction debris, and a fourth at the Tunnels crossing also loaded with construction debris.
The trucks and their contents were transferred to the impound lot in Mizmoria for further inspection and processing. The Civil Administration said the smuggling attempts are part of a widespread phenomenon of illegal dumping in Judea and Samaria that poses environmental hazards and pollution risks to the region.
