Following last week’s IDF operation at Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital, in which forces said they arrested 240 terror suspects, a report claims that 60 of the detainees received treatment in Israeli hospitals following their arrest.
Channel 12 news reports that 60 members of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups required medical attention that couldn’t be given at the Sde Teiman detention facility, since its field hospital was closed in October citing a low number of patients.
Citing unnamed sources in the healthcare system, the network says that the terror suspects were taken to hospitals including Ichilov in Tel Aviv, Barzilai in Ashkelon, Assuta in Ashdod, Wolfson in Holon, and Shaare Zedek in Jerusalem.
It quotes an unnamed health official as reiterating past warnings that the closure of the field hospital would cause terrorists to get treatment at hospitals around the country — presumably posing security risks and potentially leading to public criticism — adding that this “could have been avoided” and calling for a designated facility.
