Israeli police shut down Palestinian forgery lab

Israeli police and IDF forces entered the Palestinian village of Akraba, in the Shechem (Nablus) area, and uncovered a forgery lab used to produce false Israeli entry certificates, work permits, identification cards and driver’s licenses.

Israel’s police arrested a Palestinian forger and shut down a lab he used to produce hundreds of counterfeit documents, an Israel police spokesman said Tuesday.

Acting on prior intelligence, the police and IDF forces entered the Palestinian village of Akraba, in the Shechem (Nablus) area, and uncovered a forgery lab used to produce false Israeli entry certificates, work permits, identification cards and driver’s licenses.

The police impounded a laptop, a printer, raw materials and forged documents.

They arrested a 32-year-old suspected of forging hundreds of Israeli ID cards and work permits, each worth NIS 300.

Palestinians require these documents to enter Israel, mostly to seek a job, but these forged papers can be used by terrorists as well.

A police spokesman said that the suspect will be brought before a judge to be remanded on Tuesday.
