Russian opposition outlet Mediazona reports that around 40 Israelis arriving from Tel Aviv were detained and questioned for about five hours at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport over alleged involvement in the Iran war.

According to the report, detainees were denied food, water, and restroom access, and were told they were “not welcome” because Iran is considered an ally of Russia. Authorities reportedly demanded access to mobile phones and had the group sign warning documents before releasing them.
