On Tuesday afternoon, Philippine Bureau of Immigration forces raided a Chabad House on Siargao Island, arresting at least ten individuals during a Shabbat dinner. The operation, confirmed by Israeli media reports, involved officers drawing weapons upon entering the center. Among those detained are Israeli citizens whose residence permits had expired or were present illegally, the reports state. The detainees are scheduled to be transferred to a detention facility in Manila. As The Zioneer reported at 12:23, four of the detainees have been named. The incident is the latest in a series of enforcement actions against illegal residents by foreign authorities, though the manner of the raid and its timing during a religious meal have drawn particular attention.
