A doctor at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City tells AFP that the facility’s director and several other medical personnel were arrested by Israeli forces today.
“Doctor Mohammad Abu Salmiya was arrested along with several other senior doctors,” says Khalid Abu Samra, a chief of department at the hospital, which has been a major focus of the Israeli operation against Hamas.
A report in the Kan public broadcaster says that Abu Salmiya is being questioned by the Shin Bet and IDF intelligence, and Army Radio reports that he was detained as he was moving to evacuate to the south of the Strip.
The IDF says it is looking into the reports.
