Police arrested a 22-year-old Palestinian resident of Tulkarem who was staying in Israel illegally on suspicion of committing indecent acts against a minor and a woman on Herzliya beach. The suspect tried to falsely identify as an Israeli citizen, police said.
Israeli police arrested a 22-year-old Palestinian from Tulkarem on Monday morning on suspicion of committing indecent acts against a minor and a woman at Herzliya beach. The suspect, who police say was staying in Israel illegally and tried to pass himself off as an Israeli citizen during the arrest, was detained by officers from the Glilot station. Police will request a remand extension later today. The arrest follows several similar incidents on Tel Aviv-area beaches in recent weeks, as previously reported by The Zioneer. In a separate recent case, a Palestinian suspect from the northern West Bank was arrested for filming a woman in a toilet stall at a Tel Aviv beach and was found with a forged ID. The current case remains under investigation.
