A prominent Palestinian poet and author whose dispatches in The New Yorker and elsewhere captured daily life in Gaza during Israel’s ongoing siege has been released by Israel Defense Forces after his abrupt arrest and detention over the weekend.
Mosab Abu Toha was fleeing northern Gaza with his wife, brother-in-law and three children, including his three-year-old son, who is an American citizen, when he was arrested at a checkpoint alongside dozens of other people.
