A Palestinian woman from Hebron in her 30s is suspected of impersonating an Israeli citizen, staying illegally in Israel for months and even undergoing complex surgery at Beilinson Hospital under a borrowed identity. The suspicion arose after the surgery when hospital staff tried to summon her for a follow-up and the real Israeli citizen arrived instead. Police arrested the suspect, who in her investigation linked herself to the incident and claimed she found the ID card.
A Palestinian woman from Hebron in her 30s is suspected of impersonating an Israeli citizen, staying illegally in Israel for months and even undergoing complex surgery at Beilinson Hospital under a borrowed identity. The suspicion arose after the surgery when hospital staff tried to summon the impersonator for a follow-up, but the person who answered the phone was an Israeli citizen from Tayibe who claimed she had not undergone any surgery. The hospital security officer located the suspect, summoned her for a check-up, and confronted her when she arrived. Police were called to the scene and arrested her. In her investigation, she linked herself to the incident and claimed she found the ID card. The Israeli citizen claims she did not lose her ID card, and there is no connection between the two. Police are examining how the ID card came into the hands of a Palestinian Authority resident and whether it was forged.
