Israel’s Supreme Court has denied an appeal to release Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. Abu Safiya, a colonel within Hamas’s Military Medical Services, has been held in administrative detention by Israel since 2024. Administrative detention allows for imprisonment without formal charges. He is currently being held in solitary confinement. The court’s decision upholds the detention order, indicating Israel views Abu Safiya as a security risk. Details regarding the specific allegations against Abu Safiya have not been publicly released. This case highlights the ongoing Israeli security operations and detentions within Gaza.
