Freed US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander is released from hospital after completing required tests, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Medical Center says in a statement.
Alexander arrived at the hospital on Monday after he was freed after 584 days in Hamas captivity in Gaza.
Channel 12 reported earlier in the week that Alexander had returned with injuries sustained from torture at the hands of his captors, as well as flea bites.
His father said yesterday he was beaten and given meager rations during his captivity.
