An Israeli court upheld a six-month detention order against the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia.

The Prisoners' Information Office said in a statement that "the Beersheba occupation court today upheld the arrest warrant for Abu Safia as an unlawful combatant for six months," without providing any further details.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation forces arrested Abu Safiya (52 years old) in late December of last year, after storming Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, and expelling him at gunpoint, after destroying the hospital and putting it out of service.
