Gaza hospital chief Abu Safia detained, tortured in Israeli jail !

The director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital has been subjected to various forms of intense torture and inhumane treatment in an Israeli military prison.

He was “arrested by force, handcuffed and forced to take off his clothes after being taken from the hospital to one of the army camps”. Abu Safia suffers from “an enlarged heart muscle and from high blood pressure” and was beaten up and refused treatment for the heart condition. He was held in solitary confinement for 25 days and interrogated nonstop by the Israeli army, Israeli intelligence and police.

“Despite denying all the charges against him, he was beaten with an electric stick by the Israeli army so as to extract a confession from him.

A lack of medical care combined with the appalling conditions in “very cold prison cells” had “severely affected” the doctor’s health.

‘Thousands disappeared’

Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Amman in Jordan, said the doctor was one of hundreds of medical workers taken from Gaza by Israeli forces to the notorious Sde Teiman detention camp and other Israeli military prisons.

“At least his family now knows where he is and that he is alive, unlike potentially thousands of others who the UN said have been forcibly disappeared from Gaza,” she said.

According to the report, the prisoner had been beaten by Israeli soldiers while going from north to the south of Gaza, forced to take off his clothes and left for hours in the cold without food or water. Later, tied up and beaten, with both his hands suffering a fracture.

Starved, threatened and abused: Parents of freed Hamas hostages give details of ordeal

Quote:

Parents of four young female Israeli hostages freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza have told the BBC about how their daughters were abused, including being starved, intimidated and threatened by armed men, and forced to cook and clean.

They recounted how the hostages were held in underground tunnels and buildings, witnessed physical abuse and were made to participate in Hamas propaganda videos, including, in one case, by faking her own death.

They said the women found strength through sharing stories, drawing and keeping a diary.

None of the women have given interviews to the media since their release, and their parents say the full details of what they endured are still emerging. There are also things they can't speak about due to fears it could put the hostages still in Gaza at risk.

Three of the four women whose parents spoke to the BBC were female soldiers kidnapped by Hamas from the Nahal Oz army base near Gaza on 7 October 2023.

The hostages' access to food and their treatment by male guards varied over the 15 months they were held, their parents said. They were moved between locations, rarely seeing sunlight.

"It was very different between the places that she went - it could be a good tunnel, it could be a very bad tunnel. It could be a good house or a bad house," said the father of Agam Berger, 20, a soldier who had been at Nahal Oz.

Some of the places had good food, some had "very bad food... they just tried to survive," Shlomi Berger said.

"They [and their captors] had to run away from one place to another because they are in a war zone there. It was very dangerous to be there," said Orly Gilboa, whose daughter Daniella was also kidnapped from the base.

When Daniella watched the release of three male hostages last week - who came out thin and emaciated - she told her mother: "If I had been released two months ago I would have probably looked like them."

"She got thinner, she lost a lot of her weight through the captivity. But in the last two months they were given a lot of food to gain weight," Ms Gilboa says.

Other parents have also reported significant weight loss. Meirav Leshem Gonen's daughter was taken by Hamas from the Nova music festival.

Romi, 24, was released in the first week of the ceasefire in January - she had lost "20% of her body weight", says her mother.

Ms Gilboa says the hardest thing she endured was seeing a video that suggested her daughter had been killed. Her captors poured powder on her so she looked like she was covered in plaster, as if she was killed in an Israeli military strike.

"I think everyone who saw it believed it, but I just kept telling myself that it can't be," she told the BBC.

Yemen’s Houthis emerge from Gaza war emboldened, and with more enemies

Once a largely local threat, Houthis now challenge Israeli and Western interests, leading to increased focus.

A lot has changed in the past 16 months as the Houthis demonstrated their capabilities – firing projectiles deep into Israel and causing damage – as well as their willingness to challenge the West and attack shipping in the seas around Yemen, all ostensibly in support of the Palestinians in Gaza.

For those actions, among many in the region and beyond, the Houthis have become a symbol of resistance against Israel and the West and the true representative of the Yemeni state.

“The Houthi leadership has not feared the United States or any other Western force,” said Abdullah Yahia, a high school graduate from Sanaa. “Offering support to Gaza is the real gauge of courage and humanity. This is why I have changed my view on the Houthis.”

Many shipping companies now avoid the Red Sea – a vital international shipping route – because of Houthi attacks that US-led reprisals were unable to stop. The attacks on shipping – which, according to a tally by the nonprofit Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), have numbered more than 200 since the start of the war – have increased shipping costs and led to cargo traffic through Egypt’s Suez Canal plummeting.

Rebuilding Gaza: What it would take to win this uphill battle

Israel’s bombing transformed Gaza into a rubble-strewn disaster zone, complicating efforts to rebuild.

The Israeli military has killed more than 61,700 people and wounded another 110,000, mostly WOMEN and CHILDREN. Many bodies are still buried under up to 50 million tonnes of rubble.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped at least 75,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza. More than 90 percent of homes and 88 percent of schools have been damaged or destroyed, not to mention the bombing of roads, hospitals, farms and water treatment facilities.

Israel again tells US it wants another extension to stay in Lebanon: Report

Israel has requested to keep its troops in five posts in southern Lebanon until Feb. 28, a Lebanese official and foreign diplomat told Reuters on Wednesday.

The deal has already been extended until Feb. 18 but the sources said Israel had requested an additional extension through the committee overseeing the ceasefire.

Israel said that the United States has authorized it to remain at several points in Lebanon beyond the agreed date for its full withdrawal.

The White House said earlier this week that it expected the ceasefire it brokered between Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel to be fully implemented by the deadline set for Feb. 18.

Gaza militant groups name three hostages to be released on Saturday

Quote:

CAIRO/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian militant groups in Gaza said they would release hostages Iair Horn, U.S.-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen and Russian-Israeli Alexandre Sasha Troufanov on Saturday, in accordance with the terms of the ceasefire with Israel.

All three men were seized in Kibbutz Nir Oz, one of the communities around the Gaza Strip that was overrun by Hamas gunmen on October 7, 2023. Iair Horn's brother Eitan was taken at the same time and remains in captivity.

Hamas said Israel was expected to release 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in exchange.

The announcement of the names by Hamas, the main militant group in Gaza, came after days of uncertainty about whether the 42-day ceasefire agreed last month would hold and followed intense efforts by Egyptian and Qatari mediators to keep the U.S.-backed deal alive.

Despite ceasefire, Israel still destroying homes in Gaza :D

Israeli forces have also kept thousands of Rafah residents from their homes, Israeli military vehicles shooting at dozens of people trying to go home, injuring and killing them.

As part of the ceasefire, which began on January 19, Israel agreed to reduce its forces in the area before completely withdrawing its troops by the 50th day of the agreement.

However, analysis carried out on satellite images taken between January 19 and February 1 shows the Israeli army has continued construction in the area, demolishing and bulldozing 64 buildings within the city of Rafah, specifically in the as-Salam, Idari, and Tel Zaarab neighbourhoods.

"This is a war crime because they are destroying residential houses,” Attar said, referring to the fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the destruction of private property.

In addition to military breaches of the ceasefire, Israel has not allowed in sufficient amounts of essential humanitarian aid, such as food, fuel, tents, and emergency shelters.

Trump gloats over Hamas hostage back down — and repeats deadline threat

Quote:

President Donald Trump repeated threats to Hamas Saturday as he crowed that the terror group has had an apparent change of heart.

Trump's comment came as three hostages were released under a ceasefire agreement with Israel that Hamas had threatened to derail earlier this week, claiming it was not being honored.

Trump met the news by pointing out, "This differs from their statement last week that they would not release any Hostages."

American-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen, Russian-Israeli Alexandre Troufanov and Argentinian-Israeli Iair Horn were released, the sixth exchange under the truce.

But Trump said Israel needed to decided if a noon deadline to release all remaining hostages still stood — andthreatened the U.S. would back any decision made.

"Hamas has just released three Hostages from GAZA, including an American Citizen," he wrote on Truth Social.

"They seem to be in good shape! This differs from their statement last week that they would not release any Hostages. Israel will now have to decide what they will do about the 12:00 O’CLOCK, TODAY, DEADLINE imposed on the release of ALL HOSTAGES. The United States will back the decision they make!"

Earlier this week, Trump said, “As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock – I think it’s an appropriate time – I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out."

Four released Palestinians in critical condition, hospitalised in Ramallah

Released Palestinians report severe malnutrition and physical abuse in Israeli prisons.

While the Israeli captives have generally appeared in good condition throughout the ceasefire exchange since last month, many Palestinians appeared to have lost an enormous amount of weight while in custody and some were seen struggling to walk due to their poor physical condition and physical torture.

Some have described the horrors they faced while in Israeli jails, where most of them were imprisoned without any charges.

“The Israelis told us ‘Welcome to hell’. It really was hell,” Rajab recalled. “From the first day, we were beaten up badly. The beatings were brutal, tough and unbearable.”

“Palestinians released from Israeli captivity are in very bad shape. They speak of malnutrition, of going hungry for the past 15 months, of being deprived of even hygiene products, only being allowed to shower every 10 days,”

“Starvation happened every day, and we only had a low-quality meal once a day. I was 95kg [209 pounds] when I went to prison. Now I weigh 45kg [100 pounds].”
