Israeli authorities released a player on the Palestinian national women’s football team after six days in detention in Jerusalem, her mother and police told AFP on Monday.
Wissam Halawani said Israeli police released her daughter Rand Halawani, 20, on Sunday evening, with an order to remain under house arrest for five days.
Halawani told AFP that she had “gone through very difficult times over the past few days” following her daughter’s detention, and that she now felt “overwhelming joy” after her return home.
