Diaa al Kahlout, a 38-year-old Palestinian journalist, was detained by the Israeli occupation troops. He was detained along with several dozen men in the campaign that, according to what they have repeated since the war began on October 7, leads to out to end Hamas.

“They have been the worst 33 days of my entire life,” he said last week from the tent he shares with other displaced people in Rafah, next to the border with Egypt. His release came with surprise when his father-in-law died in a bombing on December 13.
