An Jewish-Israeli man was arrested today, Tuesday, at Egypt’s Taba airport after putting on Tefillin while waiting for a flight.

Another Jewish traveler was reportedly warned by authorities for learning Gemara at the airport.

Israeli officials intervened, and the detained passenger was later released and allowed to board a different flight.

Many are leaving the country via Egypt to catch international flights, as strict security restrictions and flight disruptions at Ben Gurion Airport continue amid the ongoing war with Iran.
