>A group of 33 passengers who arrived at the [Allenby Bridge Border Crossing](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-868419) and presented Japanese passports did not clear border control Tuesday morning after a thorough examination revealed the passports were forged.
>The incident comes on the eve of the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, and less than a week after the attempted hijacking of the [flydubai](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-910749) flight.
>Border inspectors from the [Population and Immigration Authority](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-910058) (PIBA) became suspicious of the group, which attempted to transit over the crossing from Jordan into Israel. After becoming suspicious, the inspectors transferred the group to professional officials for examination.
>Further clarification revealed that the members of the group, which was made up of 27 men and six women, are all Chinese citizens.
>According to PIBA, the group entered and exited [Jordan](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-910701) with Chinese passports, and only presented the forged Japanese passports upon attempting to cross into Israel.
>Israel denied entry to the entire group, and authorities seized the forged passports for further examination.
What is China playing at?
Japan is going to be pissed!
Spies for sure. No other reason to use forged passports.
Why were they only denied and not arrested?
I wonder what China is interested in within Israel? Technology/Industrial espionage?
When „they all look the same“ fails
That’s a lot of spies. What do you possibly need that many for all at once?
Israeli intelligence have been doing this for decades. They really pissed Australia off using their country’s passports.
[The most benign explanation is that Chinese workers earn average 40,000 Yuan per month ($6,000)](https://www.binance.com/en-IN/square/post/297697915482258) which gives incentive to illegally enter to find a job.
Given that China owns Israel’s largest port, Tel Aviv’s transit system, largest agricultural company, espionage at this sloppy level sounds unlikely to me.
[They should have tried using Irish, British, French, Australian, or German passports!](https://www.bbc.com/news/10319210)
