An Israeli man has been arrested in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula after scuffling with a local resident.
The scrap apparently broke out after the Israeli man waved a flag of the Chabad Hasidic movement, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
The Foreign Ministry says it’s aware of the incident and that the Israeli embassy in Cairo is helping address the matter.
