Religious Jews Landing In Israel Forced Back Onto Plane to Desecrate Shabbos
Religious travelers who landed in Israel from South Africa were forced to desecrate the Sabbath after being denied entry to the country due to fears of the new variant.
According to Yediot Aharonot, which reported the event, five members of the Jewish community in South Africa flew to Israel to comfort the family members of the late Eli Kay, who was killed at the beginning of last week in a terrorist attack in the Old City.
The five arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Friday but were not allowed to enter Israel due to the government’s decision to bar entry to those entering from “red” countries, mainly from the African continent.
