A Palestinian tried to steal the identity of an Israeli and was apprehended by agents of a Population Registry office.

The incident occurred on Monday morning 11 Menachem Av at the Netanyahu Population Registry office. A 19-year-old Palestinians arrived and requested to renew his identity car, showing the clerk the one in his hand was clearly damaged and needed replacement.

The clerk realized the ID card was not his, and it appears it was an attempt by a PA (Palestinian Authority) resident to steal the identity of an Israeli who lost his ID card.

While the young man waited police were summoned and the subject, who was in Green Line Israel illegally, was taken into custody.
