Zaher Ibrahim

A American-Palestinian adolescent who spent a nine-month period in Israel's custody absent formal charges has been freed.

Mohammed Ibrahim was 15 when he was arrested this past winter within the occupied West Bank, where he was visiting while residing in Florida accused of stone-throwing at Jewish settlers, claims he consistently denied.

United States authorities expressed satisfaction with Mohammed's liberation.

Now sixteen years old, required hospitalization upon gaining freedom, family members reported.

Family described him as showing signs of malnutrition, and is suffering from conditions contracted in captivity.

In a statement, the youth's uncle conveyed their "immense relief".

The uncle, Zeyad Kadur said the family had been "living a horrific and endless nightmare" over the last nine months.

"Currently, we're concentrating on providing Mohammed with the immediate medical attention he needs after experiencing Israel's abuse and inhumane conditions over several months."

The state department said it would continue to extend consular services to the teenager's relatives.

{"US government authorities has no higher priority to the protection and welfare for United States citizens"," the department emphasized.

Several congressional representatives endorsed a document to US authorities and the White House, urging greater action to secure his release.

The father, a father-of-four who runs an ice cream business from Florida, previously said his son only confessed regarding stone throwing because the soldiers beat him.

There were no visits or spoken to Mohammed since February, learning information solely about his son's condition via legal paperwork.

Mohammed was held absent formal charges at Ofer detention facility throughout the occupied territory.

It is also home to grown detainees, including individuals found guilty regarding severe security violations and homicide.

Approximately 350 Palestinian child security detainees being held in Israeli jails, per correctional service statistics.

Several lack formal charges while advocacy organizations, as well as the United Nations, say some have suffered mistreatment and torture.

After the teenager's freedom, Mr Kadur said the family would also continue fighting seeking justice for their relative family member Sayfollah.

The dual national youth per medical officials succumbed to assault by settlement residents amid clashes in July.

Initially, military authorities reported they were examining information regarding a civilian had died.

Mohammed and Sayfollah were employed together within the family's frozen treats establishment in Tampa, Florida.

No one has been charged with Sayfollah's killing.

"We expect United States leadership to protect our families," Mr Kadur said.
