Mohammed Abu Salmiya, who was arrested in November during a controversial raid on Gaza City’s largest clinic complex, was one of about 50 Palestinians freed from Israeli custody and returned to Gaza on Monday, The Times of Israel reported. Have been taken.

The defeat of Salmiya led to a swift reaction against the handling of the battle by Israeli intelligence officials and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Right-wing National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on the government to remove Shin Weger Knowledge director Ronen Bar after the company claimed it was forced to send prisoners back to Gaza due to a lack of capacity in Israeli prisons.

“The release of the director of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, along with dozens of other terrorists, is security negligence,” Gvir wrote on X.

Israel’s prison provider also denied the Shin Bets’ claims and said that Salmiya was “not released due to lack of detention area.”

Former war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, who resigned last week over his handling of the war, also called for Barr’s escape and wondered whether Israel might go further with its flow controls.

“Those who do not know how to take responsibility and manage cannot lead us in the most difficult campaign we have ever faced,” Gantz said in a comment.

Netanyahu’s office denied any involvement in Salmiya’s release, announcing that he was freed from Nafa prison after discussion in the Supreme Court.

Avi Marciano, whose daughter Noa was kidnapped from Nahal Oz. The incident on 7 October and the killing at Al-Shifa Clinic were perhaps the strongest condemnation of the deaths of prisoners.

“Noa was released before October 7 when they did not listen to him. When they did not come to rescue him on October 7, he was released,” he wrote on Facebook. “She didn’t find love later because they didn’t do much for her to return home alive.

He added, “And now, seven months after his burial, the State of Israel has decided to release those who are directly or indirectly responsible for his murder.” “I’m sorry, my girl, that you’ve been constantly neglected.”

Following the outcry, Netanyahu’s office and Shin Wager said an investigation had justified Salmiya’s dismissal, although the company hoped his freedom would not be a significant ultimatum to the Jewish system.

Salmiya, whose whereabouts were unknown since his arrest, claimed he was repeatedly tortured and denied access to a lawyer, with Israel later arresting him for lack of confidence that he had supported Hamas. Al-Shifa Clinic was given importance to the terrorists as an operations center. Relations with the al-Quds media community, which has been accused of having ties to the terrorist task force.

“The prison conditions are tragic and very difficult, and there must be a decisive word of resistance and on behalf of the Arab people for the freedom of the prisoners,” Salmiya told Palestinian media.

Israeli officials did not elaborate on the full details of the Salmiya fall.

The IDF raided al-Shifa’s clinic in November, seizing a large amount of guns and war equipment throughout the clinic facility.

Despite evidence of Hamas’ role and presence at the clinic, the Israeli military has not provided solid evidence that the terrorist group had an operations base beneath the clinic that was connected to its vast tunnel system.

Infighting among Israeli officials over the fall began when Hamas announced one of its largest rocket barrages in months against the Jewish command, sending at least 20 missiles against border communities, according to the IDF.

The IDF said several rockets were fired by Israeli air defense equipment, while other missiles fell in southern Israel.

Refuge casualties were reported due to Monday’s clash, with the IDF launching a counter-offensive in Khan Yunis to remove old rocket launchers used in the attack.
