A Jerusalem court remanded a Ben Gurion International Airport employee suspected of sexually assaulting women seeking to enter Israel, with the arrest prolonged until June 4. The suspect, a man in his thirties from southern Israel, was apprehended earlier this week by detectives from the Jerusalem District Police's Central Unit. Authorities allege he exploited his position at the airport to perpetrate severe sexual offenses against women.

The investigation began several weeks ago following a report received by the police, revealing a suspected pattern of systematic behavior. The court approved the extension to allow investigators to continue their work and identify additional victims, if any exist. The Jerusalem District Police's Central Unit for Preventing and Combating Family Violence is leading the probe.

Police have issued a public appeal, urging anyone who believes they may have been a victim or witness to the suspect's actions to contact the Central Unit. Authorities are intensifying efforts to uncover the full scope of the alleged offenses.
