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.

          Mhmm. That’s why you made sure to compare one to the Nazis and not the other, instead of condemning both for their fascistic policies and crimes.

          Like Russia has never tortured political “enemies” to death, lol.

            No it’s not.

            Are you being paid to say this? Seems like you’re just trying to distract from criticism of Nazisreal.

                Lol, what? That’s not at all what happened.

                I’m guessing you’re on his side, which is why you’re trying to distort reality.

                Gonna block you too, buddy.

                That’s why[…]

                No it’s not. You are wrong about your assumption.

                Anyways, I’m gonna block you. I’m getting really weird shill-vibes from this conversation. I think you’re just going to keep replying until I stop, so you may have the last word.

                Goodbye.
