  "account": "Palestinian journalist Farah Abu Ayyash has returned to her family home after being held in Israeli detention for 15 months, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna). Abu Ayyash, who works for Iran's Tasnim News Agency as a West Bank correspondent, was released on Thursday night following a ruling by Ofer Prison military court. The charges against her were dismissed as she had spent 450 days in Israeli prisons. Irna reported that Abu Ayyash was initially arrested on August 6, 2025, during a military raid on her family's home in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron. The article stated that her arrest stemmed from her work as a journalist covering local events in the southern West Bank for Tasnim. The report also noted that the lengthy detention was due to procedural delays, keeping her held in administrative detention at Damon Prison without formal charges. Additionally, Irna mentioned that Abu Ayyash was allegedly tortured and mistreated while in custody.",
