Israel detains Palestine Red Crescent workers, patients for 10 hours

According to an aid worker with the humanitarian group, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), Israel's military shared an image showing dozens of medical workers and staff at al-Amal Hospital being detained.

Saleem Aburas, relief coordinator with the PRCS's risk and disaster management department, shared the image on his Instagram account, and stated that Israel was claiming the individuals had "connections to terrorist activities".

Aburas said the people were detained for 10 hours on the day that Israeli forces launched a raid on the medical facility.
