Jezreel Valley Rape Victim Reports Suspected Breach of Clalit Medical File
The victim in a Jezreel Valley gang rape probe reported a suspected breach of her Clalit medical account after unauthorized phone number changes. Police have opened an investigation into the privacy violation.
A new development has emerged in the investigation of a suspected gang rape at a kibbutz in the Jezreel Valley, as the victim reports a suspected breach of her online medical records. According to a police complaint filed on November 1 at the Migdal HaEmek police station, the woman discovered that the phone number linked to her Clalit Health Services account had been changed without her knowledge or consent.
The complainant expressed deep concern that unknown parties attempted to access her confidential medical history, specifically targeting records of examinations she underwent following the alleged assault. Police investigators noted that one of the unauthorized phone numbers associated with the account modification is already known to law enforcement. Authorities have launched an inquiry into the security breach, though it remains unclear whether sensitive medical data was successfully accessed or stolen.
The underlying case dates back to late June, when the woman reported that she was drugged and assaulted by several men at a kibbutz residence in the Jezreel Valley after losing consciousness. A police investigation was subsequently opened, and the suspects have denied all allegations against them. Investigators are now working to determine whether the suspected digital intrusion is linked to the individuals involved in the ongoing sexual assault case.
In response to the incident, Clalit Health Services stated that an immediate and thorough internal review was launched upon receiving the patient's complaint. Representatives emphasized that no system-wide security breach occurred, and the organization is fully cooperating with authorities while keeping the patient informed of ongoing findings.
