Police say they arrested a 45-year-old IDF lieutenant colonel in the reserves for printing military employee identity cards for six Palestinian residents of the West Bank, allowing them to illegally reside in Israel.
After an undercover investigation, police say they arrested the officer for using a civilian printer to fake the ID cards for Palestinian residents, who are members of the same family from Tulkarm, over several years.
The ID cards claim the residents work in various jobs assisting the military that don’t exist, police say.
This morning, police arrested the reserve officer in his northern home and the six Palestinians ages 21, 29, 31, 34, 35, and 55 for questioning.
The investigation is ongoing.
