Israeli Man Suspected of Sexual Crimes Against Over 20 Minors Using Fake Profiles

Israeli police have named Fadi Azar, a man in his 40s from central Israel, as a suspect in a sexual offenses case involving more than 20 minor girls online. Authorities believe there may be additional victims and have urged anyone else harmed by Azar to come forward.

The investigation revealed that Azar allegedly impersonated a 16-year-old boy on TikTok and Instagram, using another minor's photo to contact girls aged 11 to 15. The suspect is believed to have operated this scheme over a four-year period from 2022 to 2025.

Following his arrest, Azar was released under restrictive conditions including 10 days of house arrest and a 90-day ban on any contact with minors or entry into educational institutions. Police continue to investigate and seek further victims.
