- Mali and Lial Yahalomi returned to Israel on Wednesday.
- Reports of their arrest in Namibia were confirmed as false.
- The detained women in Namibia were Iranian citizens.
- The women falsely claimed to be Israeli.
- Mali and Lial Yahalomi were recognized by passengers on their flight.
While two women were indeed detained in Namibia, local authorities confirmed they were Iranian citizens falsely claiming to be Israeli, not Mali and Lial.
According to an individual at the airport, the mother and daughter were subdued during the flight, not interacting with the crew, and were the subject of whispers among other passengers who recognized them. Documents and photos of the detained women were shared with Israeli authorities, who, after comparing the details, ruled out the possibility that they were Mali and Lial.
The Yahalomi pair's return to Israel follows a confusing night of reports that caused significant concern. The clarification that they were never detained has brought relief.
