A West Bank Palestinian, 30, illegally entered Israel and pretended to be a carer for an elderly woman in northern Israel, Israel Police says in a statement.
Police raided the northern village of Deir al-Asad on Tuesday, where they found and arrested the Ramallah resident, who was caring for the 90-year-old woman, police state. The woman presented herself as a Jerusalem resident.
Police discovered that the woman’s family also works in the village, the statement reads.
An indictment was filed against the woman for illegally residing in Israel as well as a request to extend her custody until the end of legal proceedings at the Acre Magistrate’s Court, police say.
