Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, reported sustained physical abuse while in detention, according to Shehab Wire. The detained physician disclosed that guards beat and threatened him repeatedly, describing the assaults as an effort to intimidate him into silence.
Abu Safiya's allegations emerge from Gaza's northern region, where Kamal Adwan Hospital has faced severe operational strain. His account adds to a growing body of reports documenting abuse against Palestinian detainees held by Israeli forces in Gaza detention facilities.
