🚨BREAKING: The Israeli military has killed photographer Areej Shahin and her mother in a missile strike on their home.

Areej gained recognition for capturing the beauty of Gaza and the narratives of its people through her lens.

So in a new twist, the IDF now acknowledges detaining Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, insisting he is investigated for links with Hamas. Please join @amnesty in calling for Dr. Hussam to be granted access to a lawyer and his family, and for his release.

A few facts on Dr. Hussam

Kamal Adwan hospital was raided previously in December 2023, with several medical staff arbitrarily detained and disappeared. Back then, Dr. Hussam was interrogated briefly. At the time, not a single Israeli source accused Dr. Hussam of anything.

After the initial raid on Kamal Adwan, which put the hospital out of service, Dr. Hussam and other staff managed, with the support of international organizations, to get the hospital to function again. It played an indispensable role in treating children suffering from malnutrition and dehydration-related issues. The hospital also received those wounded from a series of Israeli attacks on starving people as they waited for flour trucks, known as flour massacres.

Between the months of February 2024-September 2024, Dr. Abu Safiya was the go-to source for human rights and humanitarian organizations investigating the situation of the healthcare sector in north Gaza and the impact of the mixture of disease and hunger on children in particular, providing accurate, non-sensationalist and credible information, coordinating with international health organisations , providing media briefings, all whilst obviously working as a dedicated pediatrician.

The only time even the Israeli army brought up the Hamas link was following his disappearance last Friday.
They told journalists this morning 03/01 that "Hussam Abu Sufaya was apprehended for suspected involvement in terrorist activities, and for holding a rank in the Hamas terror organization, while hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital under his management. He is currently being investigated by Israeli security forces."

Dr. Abu Safiya’s unlawful detention is emblematic of the broader attacks on the healthcare sector in Gaza and Israel’s attempts to annihilate it. It is part and parcel of Israel's genocidal intent and genocidal acts - meant to inflict conditions of life CALCULATED TO BRING ABOUT DESTRUCTION OF PALESTINIANS.

Dr. Abu Safiya has been acting as a leading voice for the healthcare sector in the north of Gaza since October 2024 and refusing to abandon the hospital and his patients. He has stood against Israel's genocidal act and his arrest along with that of 100s of Palestinian medical staff further provides evidence of genocidal intent.

None of the medical staff abducted by Israeli forces since November 2023 from Gaza during raids on hospitals and clinics has been charged or put before a trial; those released after enduring unimaginable torture were never charged and did not stand trial. Those still detained remain held without charges or trial under inhumane conditions and at risk of torture.

Why are you not reporting this @BBCNews ?

@BowenBBC & @bbclysedoucet surely this is something that should be covered properly, fully and honestly? 202 is an unprecedented slaughter of your colleagues. It merits more than a passing news story: more a proper holding to account.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

It gets worse. Here is Raffi Berg, the guy who supervises @BBCNews Middle East content & gets to censor all news out of Gaza, writing excitedly to Netanyahu junior about getting a letter from his war criminal father:

They are ordering their armed forces to participate in a genocide. Someone needs to stop them urgently.

I'm afraid of what is meant to follow the assassination of Khaled Nabhan. hear me out...

Israel's modus operandi is to push the boundary to see what it can get away with. For example, frustrated by international activists in Palestine, they decided to kill one or two to see what they could get away with. Rachel Corrie, Tom Hurndall, etc were thus killed in cold blood. However, there were lawsuits and various reverberations that were costly to them. In other words, there was sufficient outrage and resistance to make them rethink that strategy.

Their desire to bomb hospitals in Gaza also preceded in this way. Recall the first hospital they hit? They tested the waters by targeting the courtyard of the Al-Ahli hospital first. There was initial outrage tamped by their muddling of the narrative. This paved the way for the much bigger target: Al Shifa hospital, the largest and most advanced hospital in Gaza. They employed the same playbook in collusion with corporate media solidly in their pockets (BBC, CNN..all of them). It worked. The bombing of hospitals was normalized and no one batted an eye as Israel proceeded to bomb, gut, invade, and destroy one hospital after another, killing, kidnapping, torturing, and raping healthcare workers and patients alike.

This is how they made their way into Rafah, the supposed "red line," and turned every so-called "safe zone" into an actual death camp.

This is how they've been assassinating journalists.

This is what happened with the assassination of the World Central Kitchen workers. Remember the first time? the second time they did it did not elicit any meaningful headlines or coverage at all.

There are a few personalities that have emerged from Gaza who've become much beloved and iconic symbols of love, light, endurance, dignity, family, community, and faith. Khaled Nabhan was one of them, and they just killed him.

Make no mistake that this was an intentional assassination to test our reactions; to see if they can get away with killing the next internationally known Palestinian with millions of followers. We all know who they are—those amazing people whose light on this earth shines too bright for the darkness of the Israeli soul.
