Gaza doctors say Israeli troops beat them after hospital raid: BBC

The BBC spoke with Palestinian medical staff at al-Nassar Hospital in Gaza, who said they were "blindfolded, detained, forced to strip and repeatedly beaten" by Israeli forces after a raid at the hospital last month.

Ahmed Abu Sabha, one doctor at the hospital, said he was detained for a week and that he had muzzled dogs set upon him. His hand was also broken by an Israeli soldier.

Other doctors who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity said they were beaten, "doused with cold water, and forced to kneel in uncomfortable positions for hours".

The BBC reached out to the Israeli military for comment, and it responded by denying that medical staff were harmed during their operation on the hospital.

They said that "any abuse of detainees is … strictly prohibited".

The Israeli military has laid siege to and raided several hospitals in Gaza since launching a ground invasion on the enclave in late October.

Palestinian men detained by Israeli forces in Gaza spoke to Middle East Eye, describing how they were physically tortured with dogs and electricity, subjected to mock executions, and held in humiliating and degrading conditions.
