Red Crescent says missing Gaza medic is being held by Israel

The Palestine Red Crescent Society says that a medic who had been missing since Israeli forces fired on ambulances in Gaza last month is currently being held by Israeli authorities.

“Asaad al-Nsasrah is being held by the Israeli occupation authorities. His fate had remained unknown since he was targeted along with other PRCS medics in Rafah,” PRCS said in a statement, referring to the attack that left 15 medics and rescuers dead.

There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces, which has previously said that at least six of those killed were Hamas terror operatives.
