JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has released a Turkish woman who had been arrested while visiting on a tourist visa and accused of helping the Palestinian militant group Hamas, in a case that angered Ankara, Israel and her lawyer said on Monday.

Turkey threatened retaliation after Ebru Ozkan's detention last month. The ex-allies have long been at loggerheads over Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and Jerusalem's status.
