A 25-year-old Israeli woman who works as a kindergarten teacher in Rehovot was arrested in Turkey this week for suspected involvement with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is classified as a terror organization there, N12 reported on Friday.
The woman, on holiday in Turkey, reportedly met a Kurdish couple with whom she went out with to a few bars. At one point during the evening, the Kurdish woman fought with her partner, causing police to arrive, said N12. When they did, the Kurdish woman, who was reportedly inebriated, yelled to police that she was "Kurdish and supports the PKK, I am a terrorist, who even are you? I will commit terror attacks here," the Israeli told N12.
The Kurdish woman was arrested and police beat her during the arrest, according to the Israeli woman, who said that is what prompted her to intervene, leading to her own arrest, N12 reported.
The Israeli woman was released on Wednesday after being detained and beaten during her detainment, according to N12, which also reported that she cannot leave Turkey until her trial.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said it was aware of her arrest and that the Israeli consulate there was in touch with her.
