Video: A recording of young women posing on the phone as a Hamas terrorist/Walla!
Amneh Othman, 19, and Fatmeh Baloum, 20, from Taybeh, claim they just wanted to joke when they called the police hotline 100, posed as a Hamas terrorist and made threats over the phone. However, the police, the State Prosecutor's Office and the courts are currently treating offenses of this type with great severity. An indictment was filed against them about two weeks ago for threats together and the offense of interfering with a police officer in the performance of his duty, and they are being held in Damoon Prison alongside female security prisoners. Yesterday (Thursday), at the Haifa Magistrate's Court, Judge Maria Ficus Bogdanov ruled that they will remain behind bars until the end of the legal proceedings against them.

The incident took place on Thursday evening two weeks ago. According to the indictment against the two, who are known to the police, they called the police hotline, distorting their voices as pretending to be the voice of a man, identified themselves as a Hamas terrorist named "Muhammad" and threatened to kill Jewish residents of Israel and Haifa, and spoke rudely and bluntly. "I'm from Gaza, from Palestine, I'm Hamas," the two told the dispatcher, among other things, "I'm in Haifa to kill all the Jews, now I and all my friends want to kill all the Jews here in Ben Yehuda 25... Go fuck you motherfucker, I'm now killing all the Jews and Israel too."

As a result of the threatening call, many police forces, including Special Patrol Unit forces and police officers, were dispatched from the Haifa station to the address they provided, located the two women and arrested them. In a police investigation conducted at the Haifa police station, it emerged that about five minutes before the call to the hotline, the two also sent a threatening text message to a specific policewoman whose address they knew, identified themselves with the words "I am from Gaza," and that they even had the idea of burning down her home.
