95 Percent of Cars Stolen in Israel End Up in Palestinian Authority

(Globes) Roi Weinberger - Car thefts have doubled in Israel over the past year, according to data from insurance companies. In December 2022 alone, between 1,200 and 1,300 cars were stolen. A senior insurance company executive said the increase in thefts originates from the demand for new vehicles or spare parts in the Palestinian Authority. "This is a kind of economic intifada. 95% reach the Palestinian Authority. It is an organized industry in which everything is ordered in advance. The newer vehicles are usually stolen for personal use in the Palestinian Authority areas, while older vehicles are stolen for spare parts that have been ordered in advance."
