According to several Hebrew media language reports, an Israeli reporter named Joshua Tartakovsky has been arrested in Beirut after entering on a foreign passport.
The reports, citing Lebanese news outlets, say that Tartakovsky entered Lebanon on a British passport around two weeks ago but aroused suspicions, and was arrested by Lebanese authorities after he was found to also be holding an Israeli ID.
It is illegal for Israelis to enter Lebanon under both Israeli and Lebanese law.
