A Palestinian woman in her 30s from Hebron is suspected of illegally residing in Israel for months and impersonating an Israeli citizen to undergo a complex surgery at Beilinson Hospital. The suspicion arose after the surgery when hospital staff attempted to schedule a follow-up appointment with the woman they believed to be an Israeli citizen. The call was answered by an Israeli woman from Tayibe, who stated she had not undergone any surgery. The hospital's security officer intervened and located the impersonator, summoning her for a check-up. When confronted, she maintained her false identity until police were called and arrested her. She is suspected of illegal residency and impersonation. During questioning, she admitted to the incident, claiming she found the identity card, though the Israeli woman insists she never lost hers. Investigators are working to determine how the ID card reached the Palestinian resident and if it was forged, as there is no known connection between the two women.
