A woman in her 30s from Hebron, suspected of being an illegal resident in Israel, has been arrested after allegedly posing as an Israeli citizen from Tayibe to undergo surgery at Beilinson Hospital. She is suspected of having stayed in Israel for months under this false identity. The deception was uncovered recently when hospital staff called to schedule a follow-up appointment, and the actual identity card holder answered the phone, stating she had not undergone any surgery. The hospital's security officer identified the imposter and summoned her for a 'check-up.' Upon her arrival, police were called and arrested her. During questioning, the suspect claimed she had found the identity card. Investigators believe there is no connection between the suspect and the woman whose identity was stolen, and the latter is not suspected of any involvement. Police are expected to request an extension of the suspect's detention on Tuesday.
