London-based media outlet The New Arab announced the release of one of its Palestinian journalists from Israeli custody, alleging he faced torture during more than a month in detention. Diaa Al Kahlout, who was among dozens of Palestinians shown detained by Israeli troops and stripped to their underwear in north Gaza last month, was released back into the territory, the Qatari-owned outlet said. In a report on its website, Al Kahlout, 37, told The New Arab he had faced “indescribably tough and difficult” conditions after his arrest.
