On April 19, 2026, at least 40 Israeli citizens arriving from Tel Aviv were detained by security forces at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport. Among those detained were individuals holding both Russian and Israeli citizenship. They were held for approximately five hours without water, food, or toilet access; when asked to unlock their phones and refused, they were told to turn off the devices. During interrogation, some Israelis were accused of fighting against Iran and told they "had come in vain." Officials stated that Iran is Russia's ally and that those opposing Iran's enemy are also considered Russia's enemy. The detainees were released after signing documents containing legal warnings following the interrogation. No official statement has been made regarding the details of the incident or the reasons for the detention.
