The relevant officials in Israel are aware of the arrest of Israeli citizen Joshua Tartakovsky in Lebanon, says an Israeli official, and the case is being handled by the appropriate officials.
“Unfortunately,” says the official, “this is not the first time that Israeli citizens have entered the territory of enemy countries, even though this is prohibited by law, and constitutes a clear danger to their security.”
The National Security Council also issues a statement: “We would like to sharpen the ban on entering these countries, as the issue appears in messages to the public on the NSC website and has been sharpened even recently around the holidays.”
