Israel frees hospital chief with prisons ‘full’ of Gaza captives

The detainees endured ‘almost daily torture’, claims al-Shifa Hospital Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya.

Israel has freed dozens of Palestinians detained during its war in Gaza, including the director of one of the enclave’s main hospitals. Israel released 55 prisoners on Monday to free up space in its jails, unconfirmed reports claimed. Speaking shortly after his return to Gaza, al-Shifa Hospital Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya asserted that Palestinian prisoners in Israel’s prisons were facing daily abuse. With thousands of Palestinians having been added to those already detained since the war began on October 7, Israel’s prisons are “full,” reported the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation. Abu Salmiya was arrested amid claims by the Israeli military that Hamas was using al-Shifa Hospital as a base. The medical chief said no charge had ever been laid against him. Freed after more than seven months of custody, he said detainees endured “daily physical and psychological humiliation” in captivity. “Our detainees have been subjected to all kinds of torture behind bars,” he said at a news conference in Gaza. “There was almost daily torture. Cells are broken into and prisoners are beaten. “Several inmates died in interrogation centres and were deprived of food and medicine,” he added.
