Israel Police named Fadi Azar, a central Israel resident in his 40s, as a suspect in an online sexual-offenses investigation and appealed for additional complainants. Police allege that from 2022 to 2025 he posed as a 16-year-old on TikTok and Instagram using another minor’s photograph. Investigators say he contacted girls aged 11 to 15 and committed online sexual offenses. Unit 105 of Lahav 433 has identified more than 20 girls allegedly harmed and asked anyone harmed or contacted by him or the profiles he used to call Hotline 105.
