The man, who is in his forties and from Ramat Gan, a suburb east of Tel Aviv, has been taken in for questioning by authorities. The incident represents the latest in a series of confrontations involving media outlets in Israel, where tensions around coverage and editorial decisions have occasionally boiled over into physical altercations.
