A Palestinian-American detained by Israel for three weeks has been released on bail after a military judge's ruling. Samaher Esmail, a 46-year-old mother of Palestinian origin from New Orleans, had been in the West Bank for about three months when she was dragged out of her home by Israeli forces in the middle of the night and arrested. She has been charged with incitement for a series of posts on social media that included images of Hamas leaders. Her representatives and U.S.-based family have raised alarm about the conditions of her detention and that Israel is prosecuting a U.S. citizen in military court.
