The news of Adnan Al-Bursh's passing has caused quite a stir in the Palestinian community, with many accusing Israel of carrying out an assassination. Al-Bursh, a well-respected doctor and head of orthopedics at Al Shifa Hospital, had been detained by Israeli forces while he was working at Al-Awada Hospital in north Gaza four months ago. According to the Palestinian health ministry, his death marks the 496th medical sector worker killed by Israel since October 7.
This tragic incident is just one of many in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Reuters reported that at least 18 Gazans have died in Israeli custody since the start of the war. The Israeli prison service has remained tight-lipped about the cause of Al-Bursh's death, simply stating that a prisoner had passed away in Ofer prison, located in the occupied West Bank, on April 19.
However, two Palestinian prisoner associations have come forward to claim that Al-Bursh's death was not a natural one, but rather an assassination. In a joint statement released on Thursday, they revealed that his body was still being held by Israeli authorities. The prison service has stated that they are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
Meanwhile, the body of another man who died in detention was released on Thursday, along with 64 Palestinian prisoners who had been detained during Israel's military offensive in Gaza. One of the freed detainees was in critical condition and had to be immediately rushed to the hospital upon arrival at the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing.
The situation in Gaza has been tense, with Israeli forces launching an assault on Al-Shifa Hospital and the surrounding area before ultimately withdrawing in April. Palestinian forensic experts have been searching for bodies in the aftermath, with many accusing Israel of targeting the hospital as a nerve center for Hamas operations. However, these claims have not been substantiated by any concrete evidence.
