The situation was resolved only an hour later, after the arrival of additional Israeli military and police forces, the report added. ARD in Tel Aviv promised to hire a lawyer to determine the legal consequences of the incident.Christian Limpert, the head of ARD-Studios Tel Aviv, said it was the second such incident this week. "For us it is the second incident within a week. Our team has clearly identified itself as an accredited press representative and was far away from military security areas.

Israeli Soldiers Detain German Journalists in West Bank - Reports
03:55 GMT 06.11.2023 (Updated: 03:56 GMT 06.11.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israeli military detained a film crew from German broadcaster ARD in the West Bank and threatened journalists with weapons, the Tagesschau broadcaster, part of the ARD media group, reported on Sunday.
The journalists were detained after they filmed violence against Palestinians by radical Jewish settlers, the
report said, adding that ARD in Tel Aviv sees this as a clear attack on press freedom.
"Soldiers threatened us with guns and asked if we were Jews. Our colleague was called a traitor … Journalists who want to cover events taking place in the West Bank in the shadow of the war in the Gaza Strip are apparently not allowed to do so," ARD correspondent Jan-Christoph Kitzler said.
The situation was resolved only an hour later, after the arrival of additional Israeli military and police forces, the report added. ARD in Tel Aviv promised to hire a lawyer to determine the legal consequences of the incident.
Christian Limpert, the head of ARD-Studios Tel Aviv, said it was the second such incident this week. "For us it is the second incident within a week. Our team has clearly identified itself as an accredited press representative and was far away from military security areas. We cannot accept the actions of the Israeli military," he said.
