In other news from Gaza, Israeli authorities confirmed a prominent Palestinian doctor died in an Israeli prison in what Palestinian authorities called an “assassination.” Adnan Al-Bursh, a surgeon and the head of orthopedics at Al-Shifa Hospital, was detained by Israel over four months ago while he had been working at Al-Awda Hospital in north Gaza. U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese said in response to Al-Bursh’s death, “How many more lives will have to be taken before U.N. member states … act to protect the Palestinians?”

On Thursday, Israeli prison authorities released 64 Palestinians they detained in Gaza. One of the detainees was returned dead, and another in critical condition. This is Jamal Owiesi, one of the released prisoners, describing his arrest.

Jamal Owiesi: “I took my children, and we were leaving the area, and we were going toward a safer place, such as Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, Mawasi, Rafah. I wanted them to be in a safe place, but they left without me. The Israeli soldiers caught me, and they put me in a house. They asked me to take off all my clothes, and I stayed in my underwear. … Then they brought a truck and put us inside the truck. They started to beat us. They were beating me in my face. We reached the detention area hoping they would stop beating, but they didn’t.”
