A local resident, Mariam Amash, applied for a new identity card in Hadera in February 2008, using a birth document issued by the Ottoman Empire showing she was born in 1888. If verified by the "Guinness Book of World Records", this would have made her the oldest living person in the world at 120. She died on December 22, 2012 at the age of 124.
