Two Arrested Over Suspicious Live Stream By Israeli Security Site
Jerusalem, 3 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) -- Editor’s note: This report was updated to reflect the nationality and news service of the suspects.
Israeli Police said they detained two foreign nationals suspected of documenting a security facility in the Tel Aviv area. Israeli media reports disclosed that the two were Turkish nationals associated with CNN Turkey. A video of their encounter with police on social media showed they were outside the Defense Ministry’s headquarters.
After a call was received on the 100 hotline reporting two suspects equipped with cameras — believed to be recording in real time for a foreign media channel — police forces arrived at the scene. Officers halted the broadcast and began questioning the suspects.
The police said the journalist presented an expired identity card.
