Adnan Al-Bursh, a prominent Gaza surgeon, was killed while in Israeli detention, leaving many to mourn and pay tribute to him.

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.

    This is terrible.

    I remember he was at Al Shifa and spoke to the press about the IDF attack on the hospital.

        This is my first time seeing this kind of bot in the fediverse.

        Usually they want to sell fake adderall and stuff. This one appears to be clumsily trying to astroturf for a disgraced former US president.

        Edit: I tried to report but I’m on kbin, maybe someone from lemmy.ml needs to report it.
