Suspected “unlawful combatants” currently receiving treatment at the controversial Sde Teiman detention facility will be transferred to civilian hospitals in the center of the country, Channel 12 reports, without citing sources.
The term refers to Hamas terrorists captured on and after October 7 when terrorists rampaged through the country’s south, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages.
Most of the detainees at the southern facility are suspected of having participated in the attack.
The suspects are reportedly being transferred due to a shortage of medical staff at the Sde Teiman facility. Details of the hospitals in central Israel are not published for fear of riots, the report adds.
Health Ministry officials have confirmed the report, according to Channel 12.
The IDF is currently in the process of phasing out the use of the military-run detention camp amid allegations of abuse of inmates there.
