Police on Saturday arrested six men from the Israeli Arab town of Qalansuwa suspected of raping two girls in Netanya on Friday, Israel Radio reported.

A cellular phone belonging to one of the 16-year-old girls who claimed they were raped by a group of five Israeli Arab men was found in the possession of one of the suspects.

The two girls said they encountered the group at Independence Square in central Netanya and proceeded to share alcoholic beverages with the group.

Soon afterwards, the suspects are believed to have gone with the girls to the nearby beach, where they are alleged to have raped them. The girls said they were separated from each other by the group and taken to different locations along the beach where they were raped.

The girls arrived at the police station in Netanya early Friday accompanied by their parents, and they filed an official complaint.

"We are interviewing witnesses and working to locate the suspects," the police said.
