Gaza hospital chief among Palestinians freed by Israel
A man stares at the destruction caused by Israeli strikes at the Al-Shifa medical complex in Gaza City on 8 May 2024.
His release was confirmed on social media by Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and by a medical source inside the Gaza Strip.Successive raids have seen the hospital where he worked largely reduced to rubble since Israel launched its assault on Gaza after the 7 October Hamas attacks on southern Israel.
Israel has accused Hamas of using hospitals in the Gaza Strip as a cover for military operations and infrastructure.In May, Palestinian rights groups said a senior Al-Shifa surgeon had died in an Israeli jail after being detained. Israel's army said it was unaware of the death.
