Journalists Detained in Beirut Amid Rising Tensions
News summary

Two journalists, Israeli citizen Joshua Tartakovsky and German journalist Paul Ronzheimer, were detained in Beirut under separate circumstances. Tartakovsky was arrested after entering Lebanon on a British passport and being found with an Israeli passport, which is illegal under both Israeli and Lebanese law. Ronzheimer, a deputy editor at the German Bild newspaper, was detained following a live interview with Israel's Kan broadcaster after the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Ronzheimer and his team were reportedly taken by Lebanese military intelligence but released after German diplomatic intervention. Both incidents highlight the tense environment for journalists in Lebanon, particularly concerning Israeli affiliations. The Israeli National Security Council reiterated its warning against Israeli citizens entering enemy countries like Lebanon.
