An Israeli who was arrested in Lebanon in recent days after entering the country with a foreign passport has been freed and deported to the US, Hebrew media reports.
According to previous reports on the matter, Joshua Tartakovsky — a 42-year-old Israeli citizen, born in the United States — entered the country at some point in the last two weeks on a British passport, with a group of other journalists.
Ynet says Tartakovsky was freed following American pressure.
