Israeli Military Detains Al-Shifa Hospital Director and Medical Staff in Gaza

The director of Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, Muhammad Abu Salamiya, was detained by Israeli forces over allegations of the hospital's use by Hamas. The Israeli army claims that Hamas fighters used a tunnel complex beneath the hospital to stage attacks, while Hamas and hospital officials deny the allegations. The arrest has been strongly denounced by Hamas, who called for the immediate release of Salamiya and his colleagues. The Israeli military released an audio recording of a conversation between Salamiya and a senior Israeli officer, blaming each other for the evacuation of the hospital. The Palestinian Red Crescent and the United Nations have evacuated 190 wounded and sick people, along with medical staff, from Al-Shifa to other hospitals in southern Gaza.
