Palestinian medical staff in Gaza have told the BBC they were blindfolded, detained, forced to strip and repeatedly beaten by Israeli troops after a raid at their hospital last month.
Ahmed Abu Sabha, a doctor at Nasser hospital, described being held for a week in detention, where, he said, muzzled dogs were set upon him and his hand was broken by an Israeli soldier.
His account closely matches those of two other medics who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
They told the BBC they were humiliated, beaten, doused with cold water, and forced to kneel in uncomfortable positions for hours. They said they were detained for days before being released.
An expert in humanitarian law said the footage and the testimony from the medical staff interviewed by the BBC was “extremely concerning”. He said some of the accounts provided to the BBC “very clearly cross over into the category of cruel and inhumane treatment”.
That’s really cool that you saw that one video and now everyone in Gaza is actually Hamas even the babies and 5 year old children are Hamas.
Why did israel claim there were hostage bodies in the hospital and they didn’t find any? Care to respond to that instead of the irrelevant video you saw?
I’m not surprised that you’re putting your psychotic mis-interpretation onto what I said. Unfortunately it’s a refrain that I see time and time again from Hamas supporters, emotional misinformation instead of actually debating the point.
The point of attacking this hospital were “bodies of hostages”. Where are those?
You want to pivot real badly to something irrelevant because you know you cannot possibly defend israel’s Genocidal attack on a now proven innocent hospital.
