Gaza doctor claims he was taken to Israeli prison to be killed

A Gaza‑born physician has accused Israeli authorities of deliberately sending him to a prison in Israel where he claims he will be killed. The doctor, whose name has not yet been released publicly, was arrested in early March on charges of “terrorist propaganda” after he was photographed in a video criticizing Israeli military actions. He was transferred from a local detention center in Gaza to a maximum‑security facility in the West Bank, where he alleges he faces imminent execution.

Israeli officials maintain that the detention is lawful and that the doctor is being held for his alleged involvement in extremist activities. Human rights groups have called for an independent investigation into the conditions of his confinement and the legality of his transfer, citing concerns that the move violates international humanitarian law. The case has drawn attention from both Israeli and Palestinian authorities, with Gaza’s health ministry condemning the treatment of the physician and urging for his release. The outcome of the legal proceedings remains uncertain, but the doctor’s statement has intensified scrutiny over Israel’s detention policies in the occupied territories.
