Al-Shifa hospital director is released from Israeli detention

Israeli forces have released Doctor Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, who was arrested on November 23 during the first invasion of the hospital. He, along with around 50 other detainees, was returned to Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Upon his release, Abu Salmiya said Palestinian prisoners face unprecedentedly harsh conditions in Israeli jails, not seen since the 1948 Nakba. He called on Arab and Muslim people to take action to save them. In February, the family of Abu Salmiya said that he was being severely tortured because he refused to appear in a video accusing Palestinian movements of using Al Shifa Hospital as a military site.
