As a non yeshivish Jew, I disagree with the insinuation that only Yeshivish people keep Halacha. :)
That was a joke, however I don’t see any halachic issue with going there.

I didn’t travel with my old passport. Only took the new one without any stamps.
And then entered Israel on a paper B2? You mentioned you had many visas from Israel

I can see how it may be an issue. It may be assur to put yourself in certain situations which are dangerous. Im not well versed in this area of halacha so I wont say more.

You had no issue exiting Israel without showing how you entered?

Correct. People get new passports while in Israel. No biggie.

Didn't they stop stamping passports years ago. They just use the entry and exit slips after scanning the passport
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Yes now that I'm thinking no entry and exit stamp, it was visas that he had an issue with.

I'm surprised they didn't become suspicious of a brand new passport. Oh and bluestrings, how does it feel that u look like a Lebanese soldier  ;D

You were very lucky. Getting into Beirut airport (with a very jewish name) is something 'll never do. A Muslim Israeli from Haifa who has an Israeli passport and a German passport was arrested at the airport, accused of being an Israeli intelligence agent, was imprisoned in an underground cell for 12 years .  I think this happened in the early nineties. Anyway, I am glad you made it back safe.

It wasn’t easy for her, but I was only in Lebanon for 31 hours.

Yeah, and Jamal Khashoggi was only in the Saudi embassy in Turkey for 2 hours. If you've got 15 specially trained Arab mercenaries looking for you, it doesn't take them long. Glad you lived to tell about it.

Did you ask a shaila about bentching gomel when you got out safely, and if so, what was the answer?

And can anybody take pictures of the article and post them here for the many of us who would love to read it but don't have the Ami Sukkos issue?

+1 I think just getting in through airport passport control with a very  jewish name in itself is a miracle, when Lebanon was dominated by the Maronite christians it was different, they are fond of Israel since Sharon helped them in their war against palestinians and Lebanese muslims, but now I think the airport is under Hizballah .
