[Reader-list] giving passport to Israelis can be risky

[Javed]

Beware: It seems you are at a risk if you are handing over your
passport to any Israeli official such as Isreali airlines officer,
immigration officer or any other official - at the pretext of showing
your documents to their senior officer, they may go "inside" for a few
minutes and be back. There is an official scheme to clone passports
and use them for acitivies against Hamas:
