Looking tiny in his adult-size grey prison jumpsuit, 15-year-old Palestinian Ezzedine al-Lahalia appeared stunned as his mother embraced him after a month in an Israeli jail.
His first request was a child’s wish for his favourite food: stuffed cabbage and shawarma.
The teenager, who had been charged with throwing stones, was reunited with his family Thursday night in an emotional scene witnessed by an AFP photographer.
