The police are appealing to the public and are working to locate more victims of Osama Dahdolan, a 35-year-old Palestinian, who is suspected of breaking into women's homes in Herzliya at night, touching them while they were sleeping and running away. The police suspect that Dahdolan would return the next day to the place, and leave his victims romantic letters.
"Suddenly I felt someone touch me, I woke up in a panic. I screamed then he ran away," one of the women recalled of that night. The next day, when she returned to her apartment, she was horrified to see a note written to her by the 35-year-old and filed a police complaint stating that she had no acquaintance with him.
Investigators from the Gillot police station quickly arrived at her apartment and collected findings from the scene. They started searching and then they arrested Dahdolan while he was trying to escape from them - he pretended to be another person, but the evidence showed that he was the one who broke in.
Investigators now suspect that Dahdolan broke into other homes of women and also left them similar notes. "We are working to locate additional victims and appeal to the public, anyone who was harmed by the suspect's actions is asked to contact the police station and report it," a police official noted.
Dahdolan's detention was extended twice, yesterday he was extended in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court by four days.
