The Israeli army detained a CNN Turk crew and arrested the journalists during a live broadcast near the army headquarters in Tel Aviv, in an incident that has raised questions about press freedom in Israel.
During the live broadcast, an Israeli soldier approached the channel's reporter, Emre Çakımık, and ordered him to stop filming immediately, saying that filming was not permitted at the location. He also ordered the crew to turn off their camera and remove the memory card before detaining them.
