Israeli forces released Palestinian doctor Mazen al-Rantisi, 71, from Ofer prison on Sunday following nearly four months in detention, Middle East Eye reported. Al-Rantisi bore visible signs of physical abuse upon his release.
The physician, known locally as the "doctor of the poor" for his work serving low-income Palestinians, had been held since his arrest in late 2023. Details of the charges against him and the circumstances of his detention remain unclear from available reports.
