AUSTRALIAN police officers are expected to land in Tel Aviv on Tuesday (March 2) to begin investigating allegations that Israel committed passport fraud.
Following the discovery last week of three Australian passports, which were alleged to have been forged by Israeli security service Mossad, Australian Federal Police officers will continue their investigation on Israeli soil.
The officers, who are conducting the investigation alongside the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Australian Passport Office, will speak to the three dual Australian-Israel citizens caught up in the fraud.
The Dubai police have alleged that forged passports in the names of Nicole McCabe, Joshua Bruce and Adam Korman were discovered and have linked these passports to an elaborate plan, pinned on Mossad, to assassinate Hamas extremist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
