Gaza hospital chief says tortured in Israel detention

The head of the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital said on Monday after being freed from more than seven months of detention that he had been “tortured” by Israel.

Al-Shifa hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya was among dozens of Palestinians released and returned to Gaza for treatment, according to Israeli authorities.

Abu Salmiya said he and other prisoners were put through “severe torture” in Israeli prisons, after being detained since the October 7 cross-border attacks by Hamas.
