Adnan Al-Bursh, a renowned Gaza surgeon, was tortured to death in Israeli detention, a Palestinian prisoner association announced on Thursday.

His killing has been called a "deliberate assassination" after it was revealed he died on 19 April in Israel's Ofer detention centre in the occupied West Bank. His body remains withheld by Israel.

Al-Bursh, who studied in the UK, was taken away by Israeli forces at Al-Amal Hospital in Gaza in December, while providing medical treatment to Palestinians injured in Israel’s indiscriminate assault on the besieged enclave.

Prior to his detention, Al-Bursh was renowned for traveling to various hospitals in Gaza to treat patients, even amidst heavy Israeli bombing.

Al-Bursh was also remembered for his efforts during the Great March of Return in 2018-19, when he performed over 28 surgeries in one day on Palestinians injured by Israeli fire.

2018? I thought this all started on October 7.

Israel has been killing Palestinians for a lot longer than 6 months.

This just in: Israel hates doctors that help its victims too.

So I guess Israel hates the number 42 too.

If you want to discuss a per capita assumption of guilt for war crimes you can but maybe you should consider not?

Two things can be unforgivable.

Never heard of newarab.com

Can someone please teach us how or where to check if a news outlet is credible?

You can google the organisations they are quoting and fact check them. Also it's all over the internet that israel killed this man and israel has admitted to it.

How do they know that he was tortured to death if Israel hasn't released the body or any information? There are a lot of claims being made in this article but I can't find any sources to back them up.

He was in good health before israel kidnapped him, a doctor, from Gaza and killed him.

They also tortured him before. And possibly tortured him to death this time.
