The relatives of Hussam Abu Safiya, director of the hospital, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) and NGOs around the world have demanded his release.
The Israeli army confirmed on Friday that it has the director of the army Kamal Adwan Hospital from the northern Gaza Strip, Hussam Abu Safiyaand has justified this on the grounds that he belongs to the Palestinian resistance Hamas and that he has participated in “terrorist activities”.
It is the first time Israel has publicly confirmed it has detained Safiya, after saying in recent days there was “no indication” of doing so.
“Hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding in Kamal Adwan Hospital under his leadership. Israeli security forces are currently investigating this,” a military spokesperson explained.
Abu Safiya had become one of the most visible faces of the harsh siege that the north of the Strip has suffered for more than two months, and in recent weeks he published almost daily videos about the situation in Kamal Adwan, where patients were being treated. despite continued Israeli attacks.
The doctor was detained by the Zionist army between last Friday and Saturday ordered to evacuate and set on fire to the hospital Kamal Adwanone of the few hospitals still functioning in the devastated north of the Gaza Strip.
Following the arrest, traces of Safiya were lost, whose last image spread on social networks showing her walking towards a convoy of tanks in the middle of a street full of rubble and with enormous destruction around her.
The hospital director’s family members, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) and NGOs around the world, have demanded his release.
The Zionist army orders another expulsion
On the other hand, the healthcare workers of the Indonesian hospitalthe only one still functioning in the besieged northern Gaza Strip, reported Friday that the Israeli army has ordered an evacuation.
However, the Israeli army’s international spokesman, Nadav Shosani, has denied that his forces ordered the evacuation of the only functioning hospital in northern Gaza and attacked it.
Following the Israeli attack on the other northern hospital, Kamal Adwan, a large portion of patients were transferred last weekend to the Indonesian hospital, which continued to function despite the extensive damage it had already suffered from the continued army attacks.
