The Iran-backed militia group Kataib Hezbollah said in a statement on Tuesday that it will release American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was kidnapped in Iraq last week.
The group said her release would be “on the condition that she leaves the country immediately.”
DEATH TOLL: More than 3,400 people have been killed across the Middle East. Over 1,500 people have been killed in Lebanon, and 23 have died in Israel.
