American Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released Friday morning by Israeli authorities after spending four days in Israeli detention following his arrest in the West Bank. He was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations according to Lea Tsemel, a renowned Israeli civil rights attorney who represented Loffredo. The allegations stem from his reporting for The Grayzone, which showed the locations of several Iranian missiles launched at military targets inside Israel earlier this month, Tsemel said. Though the same targets were featured in broadcasts by other media outlets, Israeli authorities tried to argued that Loffredo’s reporting allowed Iran to study future targets. “He didn’t do anything original — he took it from different sources that were published already,” Tsemel told The Intercept.
