Palestinian surgeon killed by Israeli forces during al-Shifa Hospital assault

A Palestinian surgeon was among those killed by Israeli forces during its two week raid on al-Shifa Hospital. 

Ahmad Maqadmeh was killed during the siege, according to his friend and colleague, British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta. 

"We worked together in the Great Marches of Return and the 2021 war and then this recent war. His dedication was unlike anything I have ever seen. We will never forgive," Abu Sitta wrote on X. 

"He spent this war going from Shifa hospital to Al Quds Hospital and when he was free he would join me at Al Ahli. Always dedicated, always wanting to learn.

"He refused to leave the north and kept sending me photos of his surgeries. He leaves behind a wife and baby."

Abu Sitta added that Maqadmeh was a former recipient of the UK's Royal College of Surgeons' humanitarian innovation fellowship.
