Namibian Arrests Mistakenly Identified as Israeli Mother and Daughter
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
An Israeli mother and daughter, Maly and Liel Yahalomi, who fled Israel two months ago and were located in South America, were mistakenly reported to have been arrested in Namibia. It has since been clarified that the arrested individuals are not the Yahalomis, but are believed to be Iranian citizens. The initial confusion stemmed from the Yahalomis' recent location in South America.

An earlier report that Maly and Liel Yahalomi, an Israeli mother and daughter who fled the country two months ago and were located in South America, had been arrested in Namibia has been corrected. It has now been clarified that the arrested individuals are not the Yahalomis. The women detained in Namibia are believed to be Iranian citizens.
The initial confusion arose after the Yahalomis were located in South America, prompting speculation and subsequent mistaken reports about their arrest in Africa.
