Israeli authorities release Palestinian after amputating his leg in custody

Israeli authorities released dozens of Palestinians back to Gaza today, having arbitrarily arrested them at different points throughout the war.

One of them, Sofian Abu Saleh, had his leg amputated by Israeli forces during custody.

"My leg got infected [in custody], and [the Israelis] refused to take me to a hospital," he said. "After seven days, the infection spread quickly, like gangrene, they then took me to the hospital on did an operation."

Abu Saleh says he never suffered of any diseases that could have led to this infection.

"I went into [detention] with my two legs, and have returned like this," he said, alluding to this one remaining leg.
