A private ambulance driver was caught last night trying to smuggle eight Palestinians without permits into Israel.
The private ambulance was stopped at the Ofer checkpoint between the West Bank and Israel. The driver and Palestinians were arrested and the ambulance seized and taken to a Border Police base.
Health Minister Uriel Buso condemns the event, emphasizing that ambulances are to be reserved for transporting the sick and injured. Any other use amounts to endangering public health, he says.

Some of those transported had previously been prisoners for prior attacks. Why do you think they were trying to sneak into Israel?

Oh... and it violates the laws of warfare to use an ambulance to transport combatants
