ILHussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza and a Hamas officer, has reportedly suffered severe physical harm while in Israeli detention, according to a report by Physicians for Human Rights. His lawyer, Nasser Odeh, visited Abu Safiya at the Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison and described him as suffering from fresh injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, along with difficulty breathing and extreme weakness. Odeh stated that Abu Safiya appeared frightened and reluctant to speak, and feared for his life. The organization claims Abu Safiya has experienced daily beatings since his transfer to the facility on June 24, 2024, without adequate medical care. Physicians for Human Rights called for his immediate transfer, an urgent medical evaluation, and an independent investigation. The Israel Prisons Service responded that it operates under legal guidelines and judicial oversight. Reports suggest systemic abuse of Palestinian detainees under the policies of far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Abu Safiya, arrested during the conflict with Hamas in December 2024, is held in solitary confinement, with calls for his release.
