Israeli arrested in Sinai with bullet in his bag
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli tourist has been arrested while crossing into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, after Egyptian police found a bullet in one of his bags.
The Foreign Ministry confirms to the Ynet website that Nir Itach, 24 of Rehovot, is being held by Egyptian police, and says it is working to secure his release.
His brother Almog tells Ynet the bullet was left in the bag by mistake.
“He took along with him a bag from his days in the army which had not been used in a long time. He didn’t clean it out properly and now he’s under arrest.”
