Al Jazeera staff released after 12-hour detention and assault by Israeli forces

Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and his team were released by Israeli forces after being assaulted and detained for 12 hours in al-Shifa Hospital on Monday.

In tweets from Ghoul, he wrote in Arabic that the occupation bulldozed the journalists’ tent and destroyed their cars during the storming of the Shifa medical complex.

"We were forced to surrender ourselves to the occupation forces, who forced us to completely remove our clothes," he wrote.

"The occupation forces handcuffed us, blindfolded us, and interrogated all the journalists present at the scene," he added, saying that they were kept without clothes for 12 hours, along with being handcuffed and blindfolded.
