Haifa police denied social media posts following an attack on a minor Friday night at her home.
"In the last few hours, we witnessed unsubstantiated publicity on the Internet by unauthorized people regarding an investigation at the Haifa station of suspected sexual abuse of a minor in the city.
"In the meantime, we make clear that unlike those publications, there is no information or investigation regarding a pedophile apartment in the city, just as there are no werewolves in the neighborhood at night when the moon is full or aliens trying to enter the gardens.
"Therefore, the Israel Police call on the public not pass around these or other publications that are nothing more than sowing unnecessary panic among the public,” the police statement said.
