00:00:00A group of Palestinian emergency workers and medics are on a rescue mission,
00:00:13their ambulances clearly marked with lights flashing.
00:00:16Israeli soldiers open fire and start to kill the rescue workers.
00:00:35They said the convoy was suspicious because its lights were off.
00:00:40But when 15 bodies were exhumed from a mass grave,
00:00:43this video from the phone of one of the dead medics
00:00:46exposed the Israeli version of events as untrue.
00:00:51This is just one attack amongst hundreds on Palestinian health care workers.
00:01:10As Israel has bombed Gaza,
00:01:13hundreds of Palestinian doctors and medics have refused to leave their hospitals.
00:01:20We are in the theater, in the operating room.
00:01:24Full darkness, no water, no electricity.
00:01:27But we have a hero, surgeons, in Gaza.
00:01:30Homes, schools, and universities have been destroyed,
00:01:37killing and injuring tens of thousands.
00:01:43But from the first day of the war,
00:01:45Israel attached the one thing Palestinians needed most,
00:01:49its health care system.
00:01:5021 months on,
00:02:04and every one of Gaza's 36 main hospitals
00:02:07has been attacked,
00:02:09forced to evacuate,
00:02:10or destroyed.
00:02:11And Israel has been killing the very people
00:02:18trying to keep the health care system alive,
00:02:21its doctors and medics,
00:02:23despite hospitals and health care workers
00:02:25being protected under international law.
00:02:28Israel says Hamas uses hospitals
00:02:39as part of its military strategy.
00:02:41Hundreds of health care workers have been killed.
00:02:46Hundreds have been detained.
00:02:48Many of them have been forcibly disappeared.
00:02:52This film is a forensic investigation
00:02:55into Israeli military attacks on hospitals in Gaza
00:02:58and allegations of targeting and abuse
00:03:01of doctors and health care workers.
00:03:03Our Palestinian team on the ground
00:03:06have gathered testimony
00:03:07from health workers and their families.
00:03:17And Israeli whistleblowers have told us
00:03:19they witnessed Palestinian prisoners
00:03:21being tortured,
00:03:23and that some Israeli medics are complicit.
00:03:27I don't even think that in the Israeli society
00:03:30there is a need for a cover-up these days.
00:03:33You can do almost whatever you want
00:03:35when it comes to Gazans.
00:03:36Ciderot is an Israeli town bordering Gaza.
00:04:05It was raided by Hamas militants
00:04:08on October 7th,
00:04:09and at least 70 people were killed here.
00:04:12In total, around 1,200 people were killed by Hamas
00:04:31and other militant groups,
00:04:33and 251 were taken as hostages into Gaza.
00:04:36Israelis have been coming to this vantage point in Ciderot
00:04:44to pay their respects to the dead
00:04:46and to watch Gaza being attacked.
00:04:50For over a week, Israeli forces have been raiding northern Gaza,
00:04:54especially Jabaliyah refugee camp,
00:04:56which you can see from here.
00:04:57There have been reports of over 300 Palestinians
00:05:01have been killed.
00:05:03We just heard a massive boom
00:05:05and saw the smoke rising behind us.
00:05:07And reports just coming in now,
00:05:09Israeli air forces bombed the Al-Fala medical center
00:05:13in Jabaliyah, northern Gaza.
00:05:16Another medical center that's been attacked.
00:05:19At the start of the war,
00:05:24the Israeli army targeted Gaza's largest hospital,
00:05:28Al-Shifa.
00:05:28The hospital was already overwhelmed with casualties
00:05:42from strikes on Gaza City.
00:05:53Mohamed Abu Salmiya was the hospital's director.
00:05:56In early October,
00:06:11there were close to 150 specialists working at Al-Shifa.
00:06:15Among them, two orthopedic surgeons,
00:06:18Mohamed Abaid and Adnan Al-Berj,
00:06:21seen here on the left.
00:06:22South by the لو.
00:06:26Oh!
00:06:27Thank you very much.
00:06:35And there was a lot of events
00:06:36that have been there for us
00:06:39because of our drives près in the war
00:06:40of literally within a few hours.
00:06:40Al-Shifa became a symbolic target for Israel.
00:07:06The Israeli military claimed there was a Hamas command center beneath it, and even released
00:07:13this video animation of what it said it looked like.
00:07:18CCTV footage was later released by the Israeli defense forces, the IDF, showing two injured
00:07:25hostages being rushed into the hospital by Hamas militants on October the 7th.
00:07:35The IDF's bombing campaign was driving tens of thousands of displaced people to seek refuge
00:07:41in and around Al-Shifa.
00:07:49Israel had cut off electricity and water to the Gaza Strip.
00:07:54Hospital generators were quickly running out of fuel.
00:07:58We are in the theater, in the operating room, full darkness, no water, no electricity.
00:08:06But we have a hero, surgeons, in Gaza.
00:08:10We are working now with surgery with chargeable light, with manual ventilation, look here.
00:08:20The Israeli army dropped thousands of leaflets, ordering the population of northern Gaza to
00:08:27move south, and issued evacuation orders for hospitals in the north.
00:08:32Jerusalem and the Israelicano.
00:08:34We remember this very hard work in the operation of N
00:08:55on november 3rd an israeli strike hit a convoy of ambulances exiting the hospital
00:09:07the palestinian red crescent said 15 people were killed at least 60 were injured
00:09:15the israeli army claimed the ambulances were transporting hamas militants
00:09:22but it did not provide any evidence of this
00:09:25three days later the hospital's solar panels were struck
00:09:33destroying one of its last sources of energy and killing at least one person
00:09:38on november 10th a tank shell hit tents outside the hospital
00:09:54it was the first of several strikes on the hospital complex in 24 hours including on the maternity
00:10:02ward within days israeli troops that completely surrounded the hospital
00:10:10the hospital
00:10:1312 days, the number of the prisoners and the medical care have gone from the hospital,
00:10:20and the rest of the hospital has gone to the hospital, and the rest of the hospital,
00:10:26and I am one of them, and the doctor, who has been in the hospital hospital.
00:10:35Hospital administrators say there wasn't enough fuel to keep generators running.
00:10:39As a result, they say at least 40 patients, including four premature babies, died.
00:10:48Dr. Adnan al-Bersh joined medical staff to dig a mass grave.
00:10:58The IDF finally raided al-Shifa.
00:11:02It failed to provide sufficient evidence showing the existence of a key Hamas command center,
00:11:07and Israel has continually prevented access for an independent investigation.
00:11:13Patients who could, began to leave the hospital.
00:11:17They were accompanied by around 60 medical staff, including surgeons Adnan al-Bersh and Mohamed Obeid.
00:11:24The route led to the south of Gaza, but there weren't enough doctors in the north.
00:11:28As soon as they could, doctors Al Bersh and others were able to take care of the hospital.
00:11:31The route led to the south of Gaza, but there weren't enough doctors in the north.
00:11:35As soon as they could, doctors Al Bersh and Obeid left the IDF ordered route, and headed north to the Indonesian hospital.
00:11:38As soon as they could, doctors Al Bersh and Obeid left the IDF ordered route, and headed north to the Indonesian hospital.
00:11:42As soon as they could, doctors Al Bersh and Obeid left the IDF ordered route, and headed north to the Indonesian hospital.
00:12:03The war had separated Adnan al-Bersh from his wife, Yasmin, and their children.
00:12:15The war had separated Adnan al-Bersh from his wife, Yasmin, and their children.
00:12:20Theaborate of Adnan al-Bersh, y'all who have been in the Middle East?
00:12:25I found her in Indonesia.
00:12:27Do you get notice of it in Indonesia?
00:12:29Do not see the
00:12:47If I could go, I could go to the police station as the rest of the country.
00:13:00But the Indonesian hospital in its vicinity was also targeted by the IDF.
00:13:08Again, the IDF said a Hamas tunnel complex lay beneath it,
00:13:13and also that rockets had been launched from sites close by.
00:13:18Dr. Al-Barsh's ward was struck on November 20th.
00:13:26This footage, broadcast on Al Jazeera, shows him injured after the attack.
00:13:34Twelve patients on the ward were killed.
00:13:39Three days later, the Israeli army issued evacuation orders,
00:13:43then raided and shut down the hospital.
00:13:47Dr. Al-Barsh was on the move again.
00:13:50He joined Dr. Obeid at Al-Auda Hospital, their third in short succession.
00:13:59This hospital had come under Israeli attack just days before.
00:14:02Nine months later, Al-Auda Hospital was partially functioning.
00:14:18Dr. Al-Auda was another 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9.
00:14:31Dr. Muhammad Abeid was still working there.
00:14:33Dr. Obeid sent symptoms of me and asked to identify the case workers,
00:14:45It was very clean, it was a place to prevent the disease and the symptoms.
00:14:51It was in the area of the counter for the doctor.
00:14:54And they showed the three people in this place.
00:14:56The director of Mahmoud Abul Jaila, the director of Ahmed Al-Sahad, and the director of Ziyad Al-Fatr.
00:15:04Two weeks after the ward was hit, Dr. Bates says the Israeli army gave the director of the hospital an ultimatum.
00:15:11He told us that they have a complete experience with all the ones living in the hospital.
00:15:31Dr. Al-Birch made a final call to his family.
00:15:36Hmm?
00:15:37How are you?
00:15:38What's up?
00:15:39Where are you?
00:15:41I'm sorry.
00:15:42You wanna worry about me?
00:15:45Because I've been waiting for you?
00:15:47Hello?
00:15:49Where are you?
00:15:50I'm not afraid.
00:15:52I'll just get out of here.
00:16:02I feel like eating my father was going coming to my dad.
00:16:05There is no footage of Adnan Al-Bush being seized, but Al-Jazeera obtained these pictures showing men stripped to their underwear in the vicinity of the hospital.
00:16:25We don't know if there are any medics in these pictures.
00:16:27Al-Jazeera obtained these pictures of Adnan Al-Bush, but after about five minutes, one of the children came up with the doctor Adnan Al-Bush with his name.
00:16:39When I took the doctor Adnan Al-Bush, he didn't see the fear, and he was stopped and he came with them.
00:16:46But he looked at me with a nice look, and this was a good look.
00:16:52And this was the last moment I saw the doctor Adnan Al-Bush.
00:17:04Like hospitals, medics are given extensive protections under international law, regardless of their political views.
00:17:11The Israeli army said Dr Al-Bush was arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
00:17:17They provided no evidence of this.
00:17:20Dr Al-Bush praised the October 7th attacks at the time, and has been supportive of militant groups in the past, like some other doctors in this film.
00:17:29Following three of the hospital raids that we've investigated, we found that medics were taken to locations human rights groups have described to us as black sites, where there's no judicial oversight.
00:17:46Footage of the sites is rare, but this was filmed by a member of the IDF in a football stadium in Gaza City, and was posted online in December 2023.
00:17:55We can't confirm if medics are in these images, but thousands of Palestinians have been taken to these sites, including medics.
00:18:08We traveled to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, to meet Badur Hassan, an Amnesty International researcher.
00:18:22Now, you've been investigating black sites in Gaza. What are these black sites being used for?
00:18:29In these sites, the soldiers have absolutely complete power to abuse, to torture, to hit, to humiliate the detainee without any oversight.
00:18:44What can you tell me about the detainment of Palestinian doctors and healthcare workers?
00:18:50So, if there is one characteristic for which this war has stood out, is the systematic targeting of the Palestinian healthcare sector in the Gaza Strip.
00:19:04We're not talking about 10, 20, 30, 40 healthcare workers. We're talking about hundreds of detainees.
00:19:12Israeli authorities would say that maybe these healthcare workers know some information about hostages, or they knew information about Hamas fighters being treated.
00:19:24But on many occasions, these doctors are probably interrogated just once or twice, and that's it.
00:19:31The torture and unlawful treatment to which healthcare workers are subjected is evident intent of the Israeli authorities to destroy Palestinians.
00:19:46So, there is also an element of genocidal intent, and destroying the healthcare sector, basically taking it out of service through different means, not always necessarily by directly attacking them, but by also detaining hundreds of healthcare workers.
00:20:04Wador says she's identified at least four black sites so far.
00:20:10So, do you think there are other black sites that you haven't heard about, that you haven't been able to identify?
00:20:16I think what we were able to identify is just a drop in an ocean of horror.
00:20:24This image of a black site was posted online.
00:20:38We've been told the four men in the foreground are all healthcare workers.
00:20:42One of them is now in Egypt.
00:20:46You are one of these men.
00:20:49Which one are you?
00:20:51This is who I am.
00:20:53You're that one.
00:20:54Yes.
00:20:55Khaled Hamouda is a specialist surgeon.
00:20:57It was shocking.
00:20:59I mean, this is really shocking.
00:21:01It looks apocalyptic.
00:21:03And later, you said that you were put into this pit.
00:21:07It's a huge hole, you know, very high.
00:21:10A month before this picture was taken, Dr. Hamouda was working at the Indonesian hospital.
00:21:16After it was attacked and shut down by the Israeli army, he was forced to move to Kamal Adwan Hospital, a short walk from his home.
00:21:25This is your home?
00:21:27This is where I live.
00:21:28Okay.
00:21:29Our building.
00:21:30It's of three floors.
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:32He shared the building with his extended family, three of whom were doctors.
00:21:37He says they were the only occupants of the building.
00:21:40On December 3rd, 2023, his house was hit by a direct airstrike.
00:21:46Ten of Khaled Hamouda's family were killed.
00:21:49So can you tell us what happened after they attacked it? Where you went?
00:22:02We moved away about 30 meters here, exactly, in front of this building.
00:22:07So all these buildings were still standing and only your building was hit?
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:12So you ran up the street.
00:22:13Yes.
00:22:14Up to another building.
00:22:15We thought we were safe now because the airstrike finished and the building almost destroyed.
00:22:21Yes.
00:22:22And about ten of you sat outside this building in the road.
00:22:23Yes.
00:22:24And that's when a drone strike hit?
00:22:25Yes.
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:27And that's when a drone strike hit?
00:22:28Yes.
00:22:29And that's when a drone strike hit?
00:22:30Yes.
00:22:31Khaled Hamouda was injured.
00:22:32He was taken to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
00:22:34He was taken to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
00:22:57He was taken to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
00:23:27He was taken to the hospital and he was taken to the hospital and he was taken to the hospital.
00:23:55I got to get her to see her face, so I knew her.
00:23:59So I said to her, she said, this is what she is.
00:24:07So I said to her, she said, we don't have to go.
00:24:16I got my wife from the street, and I got her in the morning,
00:24:19at 7 p.m. and I got my wife in the morning.
00:24:23The two strikes killed 12 members of Khaled Hamouda's family,
00:24:28a family of doctors.
00:24:37We asked the IDF why they targeted Khaled Hamouda's family home.
00:24:41They did not respond to this question.
00:24:46Khaled Hamouda and his surviving family joined thousands of others
00:24:50taking refuge in the grounds of his workplace, Kamal Adwan Hospital.
00:25:01For a week, the hospital was bombarded,
00:25:04before being raided and then forcibly evacuated.
00:25:07The UN says Israeli soldiers detained over 70 medics.
00:25:14Khaled was amongst them and was separated from his two surviving children.
00:25:19The Israeli army said they had detained 90 terrorists during the raids,
00:25:24including the hospital director, whom they claimed was a Hamas operative,
00:25:28and again said that the hospital was being used as a command and control center.
00:25:38This is Kamal Adwan Hospital.
00:25:40They took us.
00:25:41We walked all the street.
00:25:43Yeah.
00:25:44And they asked them, the doctors, to sit down there.
00:25:47Mm-hmm.
00:26:02It's here where Khaled was photographed.
00:26:04Khaled says he was taken to an adjacent buildingж
00:26:26Khalid says he was taken to an adjacent building and interrogated.
00:26:52After eight hours, where he says he and others were violently beaten,
00:26:56Dr. Hamouda was then transported to Israel.
00:27:01The forcible transfer of prisoners across borders is prohibited under international law.
00:27:08The IDF told us that those found not to be involved in terrorist activity are released as soon as possible.
00:27:14Barely a week after his daughter and wife were killed, Dr. Hamouda was in Israeli detention.
00:27:36He says he was held in stress positions and on one occasion forced to grip barbed wire.
00:27:43Dr. Hamouda has expressed support for Hamas on social media, including the attacks on October 7th and mourning a relative who was a senior Hamas commander.
00:27:52After three weeks, he was released without charge.
00:27:59The IDF told us they rejected the claims made on the use of black sites to avoid judicial oversight,
00:28:05as well as claims regarding enforced disappearances and that they follow international and Israeli law.
00:28:11In the occupied West Bank, we meet academic Dr. Leith Hambali,
00:28:29from the research center, the Institute for Palestine Studies.
00:28:33He's been tracking Israel's attacks on Gaza's health care system using data collected by the organization Health Care Workers Watch.
00:28:42They've documented the deaths of 118 doctors, 65 of them killed in their own homes.
00:28:49We've heard incidents where doctors have been hit while in their homes.
00:28:54Are these just accidents?
00:28:55So the Israeli army claims to use precise strikes in order to target identified either terrorists or terrorist infrastructure,
00:29:05and that it aims to minimize unintended casualties.
00:29:09And so whether it's because the Israeli army has deliberately chosen to assassinate those individuals,
00:29:16or because it doesn't care that it kills them and it considers them collateral damage,
00:29:21it has made a choice to kill them, whether it's collateral damage or whether it's assassination.
00:29:26The massive loss of expertise will take years to rebuild.
00:29:30Structures can be built very quickly, but health care professionals require years to be trained.
00:29:37And so that's going to have a massively detrimental effect on the health of the Palestinian population for years to come.
00:29:43By January 2024, Gaza's Ministry of Health calculated that over 23,000 Palestinians had been killed.
00:30:00And the UN estimated that 60% of Gaza's homes had been damaged or destroyed.
00:30:06Only 13 out of Gaza's 36 hospitals were functioning.
00:30:11With Al-Shifa shut down, the largest medical facility operating in Gaza was now Nasser Hospital in the south.
00:30:19Our colleague, Jabber Badwan, has been meeting the families of medics who have been killed, detained, or disappeared.
00:30:38One of them is a missing surgeon called Khalid Al-Sar.
00:30:43He was taken from Nasser Hospital by the IDF in March 2024.
00:30:50This is Khalid's mother, Kortha.
00:30:52This is Khalid's brother, Yael.
00:31:15I had to take their own care.
00:31:19What was it that I thought?
00:31:22But there wasn't any result in them.
00:31:23Or there wasn't a connection with Khalid.
00:31:27I mean, the movie was just coming to it.
00:31:31There was a lot of people who休息 their people or their husbands, who had their parents and their children.
00:31:37They had to find them, for example, in a place.
00:31:41Or they could Avoid the public or in another area.
00:31:45We traveled to Egypt in September 2024 to meet a doctor who'd been with Khaled Al-Sah
00:32:03at Nasser Hospital.
00:32:06Ahmad Mokrabi was the only reconstructive surgeon left in southern Gaza.
00:32:15You were in Nasser with Dr. Khaled Al-Sah. Can you tell me about him?
00:32:37Today, in this case, I have operated on a three-year-old child who got shot with a small
00:32:44schradler. We have been received by Israeli attacks surrounding all the hospital in all
00:32:52the election. We were forbidden from going outside.
00:32:56The Israeli army had surrounded Nasser for weeks. Like thousands of other Palestinians,
00:33:02Dr. Mokrabi and his family were sheltering at the hospital.
00:33:04The IDF began striking the hospital and its vicinity and cutting off supplies.
00:33:18It's a really crime. It's a really crime. They attacked a very populated area.
00:33:24Dead bodies of these children. See? Massacre. Massacre.
00:33:28The best people here cannot cross this road.
00:33:36Ahmad Mokrabi filmed people being targeted by Israeli snipers at the hospital gate.
00:33:43That's a child.
00:33:44As you see, she's a deep body.
00:33:47So that's the entrance of Nasser.
00:33:48That's the entrance of Nasser.
00:33:49Right.
00:33:51Dr. Mokrabi captured this moment after an armed drone shot a nurse on his ward.
00:33:57He got injured for a nurse.
00:34:04I turned the camera on him.
00:34:07Of course, the friends of Tamriid were the ones who took him.
00:34:10When he saw him, he was the one who took him.
00:34:12He was the one who took him.
00:34:13He was the one who took him in the corner of the hospital.
00:34:18During this period, hospital staff told us that at least 14 people were killed
00:34:23by snipers or drones.
00:34:26A mass grave was dug for them and the many others who had died in the hospital grounds,
00:34:31just as in Al-Shifa.
00:34:32The Israeli military said Nasser Hospital was being used to hide hostages.
00:34:44A number of freed hostages say they were held at Nasser until they were released.
00:34:49Did you ever see any hostages being held at Nasser?
00:34:55I didn't see any Israeli police officer.
00:35:00I came to the office and entered the office room and worked hard for the work.
00:35:05Even if there were people who had dealt with Nasser,
00:35:07whether in any department, in Europe, in Al-Shifa, in Al-Shifa, in Al-Shifa, in Al-Shifa,
00:35:10they had dealt with Nasser and had dealt with Nasser.
00:35:14Is this their fault that they killed the life of Nasser or had dealt with Nasser?
00:35:19Is this the fault that they had to kill or get killed with Nasser?
00:35:22On February 15th, both doctors Mokrabi and Khaled Al-Shifa were working
00:35:29when Israeli forces shelled and then finally raided the hospital.
00:35:45Khaled Al-Shifa was on the ward.
00:35:52Khaled Al-Shifa was unassewanza, whose parents were
00:36:12nothing else.
00:36:12Khaled Al-Shifa de Vargas'
00:36:14Dr. Mokrabi fled with his family.
00:36:33Dr. Mokrabi says he and his family had to pass through an Israeli army checkpoint
00:36:37where soldiers were searching out medical staff amongst others.
00:36:44Dr. Mokrabi believes that he and his family managed to escape only because he removed his scrubs.
00:37:07After days of continuous work on Gaza, the Israeli army invaded the hospital by soldiers
00:37:18and by tanks, bulldozers.
00:37:23They displaced all the healthcare workers and all patients from all the buildings
00:37:28to be condensed into one department.
00:37:31Inside the hospital, Dr. Khaled al-Sir was filming the patients who remained.
00:37:39Israeli soldiers then rounded people up.
00:37:43Like in other hospital raids, Palestinians are stripped and bound.
00:37:48Even patients still in their beds are zip-tied.
00:37:57The IDF said that it had arrested around 200 people,
00:38:01including what it described as terrorists who posed as medics.
00:38:05According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 70 medics were detained during the raid.
00:38:10The IDF withdrew while Dr. Al-Sir and the remaining staff tried to keep the hospital running.
00:38:22But weeks later, they raided again.
00:38:26According to the UN, the attacks on the hospitals we've investigated
00:38:40appear to follow a pattern of assault that the Israeli army has been replicating across Gaza.
00:38:47This United Nations report, published in December 2024, sets out the pattern generally being used.
00:38:54First, the army strikes hospital buildings and surroundings.
00:38:59Then it besieges the hospital with ground troops, preventing access and blocking medical supplies.
00:39:05It raids the hospital, often using tanks and bulldozers.
00:39:09It detains medical staff, patients and displaced people sheltering in the hospital.
00:39:15It then forces anyone remaining to leave.
00:39:18And finally, Israeli troops withdraw, effectively rendering the hospital non-functional.
00:39:27It is a war crime to attack civilian hospitals, unless they're used to commit acts harmful to the enemy.
00:39:33But even then, any response must be proportionate.
00:39:37In response to the UN report, Israel said,
00:39:41Hamas has chosen to methodically abuse the protection of medical facilities.
00:39:46Hamas embeds its tunnel system and infrastructure within the premises.
00:39:51And so Israel says their operations are therefore legally justifiable.
00:39:55As we're gathering testimonies from medics and their families in Gaza about how they're being targeted,
00:40:08we're also collecting evidence about what happens once they're brought here to Israel.
00:40:12In the occupied West Bank, lawyer Khaled Zabarga is representing 10 detained healthcare workers from Gaza.
00:40:27His clients are being held in Ofa prison.
00:40:39For the first seven months of the war, Israel prevented lawyers communicating with detainees.
00:40:46Now they can apply to visit after 90 days of detention, but very few applications have been approved.
00:40:51We can't go in with him.
00:41:17But this is footage from inside the prison.
00:41:20On the anniversary of the October 7th attacks,
00:41:28Israel's Channel 13 filmed a raid in Ofa prison by the Israel Prison Service
00:41:33in what they said was a search for weapons.
00:41:35Later that evening, we met with Khaled Zabarga on his return from Ofa prison.
00:41:52He said his client showed signs of physical and mental torture.
00:42:22We put these allegations to the IDF and they didn't respond.
00:42:24We put these allegations to the IDF and they didn't respond.
00:42:31There had been no sightings of Khaled al-Sir, the missing surgeon from Nasser.
00:42:39Until this video was posted of a hospital administrator called Khaled al-Sir.
00:42:46who had just been released from prison.
00:42:54Khaled al-Sir was named Khaled al-Sir, the missing surgeon from Nasser Hospital.
00:43:02Khaled al-Sir was named Khaled al-Sir.
00:43:15Like thousands of Palestinians, the two men had been transferred from black sites in Gaza
00:43:33to detention centers in Israel.
00:43:36Khaled al-Sir had been held at a military base called State Iman.
00:43:45That in the distance is the Sideto Man military facility.
00:43:51We're not going to get any closer.
00:43:53Now, originally it was a military base and vehicle warehouse.
00:43:56But after the October 7th Hamas attacks, it was quickly converted into an interrogation site housing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
00:44:04It's now become notorious after reports of torture, rape and abuse.
00:44:09Israel's Channel 12 broadcast a leaked video purporting to show a gang rape at State Iman.
00:44:22The victim's injuries were so severe, he was taken to hospital for emergency surgery.
00:44:27When nine soldiers were arrested, ultra-nationalist Israelis stormed State Iman, demanding their release.
00:44:39Five of those soldiers were later charged with abuse.
00:44:43Some Israeli politicians debated whether the rape of prisoners should be allowed.
00:44:49There's been hardly any testimony from soldiers stationed at the city of Taiman.
00:45:07But we found one soldier willing to talk about what he saw.
00:45:11But he says he can only do this anonymously because he feels under threat.
00:45:14Even before going there, I'd heard rumors of what, you know, what was done to detainees there.
00:45:29With either people bragging about physically abusing them, or sort of joking about it.
00:45:37They would say, like, to me, that I would have to physically abuse detainees.
00:45:43Can you tell me about the detainees who were doctors or healthcare workers?
00:45:48There were a lot of detainees that were known to be detained from the hospitals in Gaza.
00:45:54And the main reason I was told that they were detained is that they possibly witnessed hostages either being transported to places,
00:46:05or being given care in hospitals in Gaza.
00:46:09Did you ever witness detainees being abused?
00:46:13Yeah. Soldiers that were enthusiastic to get their hands on detainees.
00:46:18What do you mean by that?
00:46:19Even among commanders, one of the incidents, in which, like, one of the soldiers which had beaten a detainee,
00:46:27he wouldn't shut up about it.
00:46:29And I recall the commander being in on it and showing his respect for that.
00:46:36From what you're saying, it sounds like this behavior wasn't just tolerated, it was encouraged.
00:46:43Yeah, yeah. In those sort of circles, people that guard the detainees sort of view themselves as fighters or something.
00:46:51And I think this whole experience was still viewed as pretty just.
00:46:56What do you think about that now?
00:47:00I mean, it was shocking. I'm deeply ashamed.
00:47:05Our producer, Jabba Badwan, interviewed several medics who'd been held at Sudaytaiman, then released back into Gaza.
00:47:25Walid Khalili is a paramedic.
00:47:33This is him at Al-Shifa Hospital in 2023.
00:47:36The Palestine Red Crescent Society says 27 of their paramedics have been killed while on duty since October 2023.
00:47:4634 of their ambulances have been taken out of service due to Israeli attacks.
00:47:53Walid Khalili was arrested while on a rescue mission and taken to Sudaytaiman and later transferred to another prison.
00:48:00When I was able to jump to Sudaytaiman and she kept on her home, I was killed.
00:48:06I was killed, but I was killed in the replacement.
00:48:09He hit the ball, hit the ball, hit the ball, hit the ball.
00:48:16He stopped staying in the ball.
00:48:18My mom was injured in the inside.
00:48:21My mom was injured, he was injured.
00:48:23They were injured as were injured.
00:48:24My mom was injured, all I was injured, was injured.
00:48:26I was injured in the back.
00:48:28and they're gonna talk to him and he's gonna talk to him.
00:48:34Heek.
00:48:35You can see the police?
00:48:37Heek.
00:48:38When we were talking about this,
00:48:42all the time that I was a witness,
00:48:44I got a day or a day and I got my hand.
00:48:48There are people who got their hands.
00:48:58Dr. Sayyid Marouf is a pediatrician.
00:49:12He is back treating Gaza's wounded and malnourished children at Nasser Hospital, now partially functioning.
00:49:18According to the United Nations, much of Gaza has been on the brink of famine because
00:49:30of Israel's severe restrictions on aid.
00:49:33Dr. Marouf was detained for 45 days.
00:49:48Dr. Marouf was detained for the city of Taiman.
00:50:18Dr. glowed up many services we returned here to the Ukraine always in W Effaz
00:50:24A new lady?
00:50:26Dr. Marouf was detentionally fighting in Bupati.
00:50:32Isam Abou-Wajwa
00:50:33General Surgeon Isam Abou-Wajwa and his whole team were taken from the operating theatre in
00:50:46Baptist Hospital. He makes shocking allegations about his 137 days in city Taiman.
00:51:16Dr. Abu Adra makes a shocking allegation that others have told us, that some Israeli medics refused to treat Palestinian prisoners, and even physically abused them.
00:51:29Some of the people who used to do this stuff, especially for the doctor.
00:51:35I was with him.
00:51:38I asked the doctor for the first time, and I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't move on.
00:51:46I asked the doctor for another time, and I came to the doctor with the first name.
00:51:53He said, you're a victim, and you have to die.
00:51:58He fought me on my feet.
00:52:03He said, if you're a victim, you're a victim.
00:52:13I said, you're a victim.
00:52:15He said, I'm a victim, but you're a victim.
00:52:18Why do you want me to die?
00:52:25We spoke to Israeli medics who confirmed that some doctors had mistreated Palestinian detainees.
00:52:32But they were all too scared to go on camera for fear of retribution.
00:52:39Finally, one doctor who'd been stationed at city Taiman's field hospital, among others, agreed to meet on condition of anonymity.
00:52:48I remember at least one case where a very painful procedure was being done, and the patient got no consent.
00:52:57Things were not explained to him in his language, so he didn't know what was going on.
00:53:03And to the best of my knowledge, no painkillers were administered to him around that procedure, and I was there.
00:53:12I saw that happening, and I saw him screaming, and I saw no one stopping it.
00:53:19Why do you think this was happening? Why weren't they using anaesthetic on this patient?
00:53:25Well, I think that was retribution, like that was a way to inflict pain.
00:53:32So the scary part is how I could not recognize that.
00:53:37When I saw that, and I recognize how I have normalized the fact that even those patients are defined and are called just by a five digit number.
00:53:48They don't have a name. They don't move. They are blindfolded, so you do not look at them in the eyes.
00:53:54So you're taking a lot of the humanity and the empathy that you might feel away.
00:54:00So there is no doubt that, in many ways, I am an accomplice as well as an Israeli physician to how we have been treating Gazans.
00:54:14Were you given any guidelines, or were you briefed about the parameters within which you could work?
00:54:20The only guidelines that we see is about, like, keeping ourselves anonymous.
00:54:25Just because they wouldn't want their names coming out to, let's say, foreign countries and foreign journalists just because they might be liable.
00:54:34Potentially of war crimes.
00:54:36What happens if you speak out?
00:54:38Well, I might be viewed as a traitor.
00:54:41So in this atmosphere where people are scared to speak out, do you think this is causing a cover-up?
00:54:50I don't even think that in the Israeli society there is a need for cover-up these days.
00:54:56You can do almost whatever you want when it comes to Gazans.
00:55:00Honestly, I think that's how the Israeli society has been dehumanizing Palestinians for years.
00:55:08It didn't start on October 7th.
00:55:10It's nothing new.
00:55:12The IDF and the Israel Prison Service did not respond to the allegation that Israeli doctors mistreated detainees.
00:55:22But the IDF said detainees can request medical care.
00:55:27Dr. Khaled Hamouda had also been detained at Suday Taiman.
00:55:34His detention had coincided with another doctor.
00:55:38The surgeon from Al-Shifa Hospital, Adnan Al-Birsh.
00:55:42What was Adnan's state of mind like? Did he look healthy to you?
00:55:52No, at all.
00:55:54It was obvious that the damage caused the damage and the damage.
00:55:58I was forced to take care of the water and take care of the water.
00:56:03The news that I had taken care of at a time when I took care of the hospital,
00:56:06I wanted to get to the hospital.
00:56:07It was obviously similar to the treatment of the treatment.
00:56:09It was delayed several times.
00:56:11Of course, I think Dr. Adnan did a different treatment about the treatment of the hospital.
00:56:14Even the treatment of the hospital.
00:56:16He was the head of the hospital.
00:56:17Of course, I was the head of the hospital.
00:56:24In mid-April, Dr. Adnan Al-Birsh was transferred to Ofa Prison.
00:56:29He died on the day of his arrival.
00:56:32What did you think when you heard Adnan had died in prison?
00:56:37I was killed.
00:56:38I thought, I wouldn't have been killed.
00:56:39He was murdered.
00:56:40I was killed.
00:56:41I was attacked by other people.
00:56:42I thought that in a way, the treatment of the hospital is going to come.
00:56:51Testimony from other prisoners provided to an Israeli human rights group describes prison guards beating Dr. Al-Birsh
00:56:57Bersh and throwing him to the ground before his death. The Israel Prison Service says it is not
00:57:03aware of any of the claims made in this film, and the IDF says they act in accordance with
00:57:08international law and the abuse of detainees is strictly prohibited. Israeli documents show that
00:57:2065 Palestinians have died in its detention since October 2023. Along with Adnan al-Bersh,
00:57:27there are at least three other health care workers. Dr. Iyad al-Rantisi, head of obstetrics
00:57:33at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Dr. Ziyad al-Dalu from al-Shifa Hospital. And paramedic Hamdan Abu-Anaba.
00:57:50In October 2024, Israeli forces launched another ground invasion of northern Gaza.
00:58:04They issued evacuation orders to the remaining 400,000 Palestinians and cut all aid reaching
00:58:12them. Once again, Kamal Adwan, Al-Auda and the Indonesian hospitals came under attack,
00:58:19and the UN Secretary-General warned the world it needed to act to prevent ethnic cleansing.
00:58:30But the plan to clear northern Gaza was delayed. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital,
00:58:38Dr. Hossam Abu-Safir, was one of several doctors refusing to leave his patients.
00:58:46Here he is, standing next to Dr. Mohammed Obeid.
00:58:59In late October, following another raid, an Israeli drone strike killed his son,
00:59:07Ebrahim. The next day, he spoke to Al-Jazeera.
00:59:28After more than two months under attack and with the hospital in flames,
00:59:31it was forced to finally close.
00:59:36Israel says it detained over 200 militants in the area.
00:59:40But the hospital says Israel detained many healthcare workers, like Dr. Abu-Safir.
00:59:51This is the last time he was seen in Gaza by his colleagues,
00:59:55walking towards an Israeli tank.
00:59:57Dr. Abu-Safir was taken to Sidi Taiman and is now being held in Ophir prison.
01:00:06Israel accuses him of having a rank in Hamas.
01:00:10In March 2025, an Israeli court classified him as an unlawful combatant
01:00:15and ordered his continued imprisonment without charge or trial.
01:00:18His lawyer says he's not a terrorist and that he's been held in solitary confinement,
01:00:23shown signs of torture, and denied proper medical care.
01:00:29Having worked through four separate hospital sieges,
01:00:32Dr. Mohammed Obeid was taken by Israeli soldiers on October 26, 2024.
01:00:38He is still being held.
01:00:39Over a year after his death, the body of Adnan al-Bersh
01:00:44has not been returned to his family in Gaza.
01:00:56After more than six months in detention,
01:00:59Dr. Khaled al-Sahar,
01:01:00the surgeon who stayed on at Nasser Hospital through the worst,
01:01:04returned to his family.
01:01:05Like all of those doctors we've spoken to detained by Israel,
01:01:15he was released without charge.
01:01:21And like all of those doctors,
01:01:24Khaled al-Sahar says he was tortured.
01:01:28Dr. al-Sahar was released a year after the war began.
01:01:31A war in which over 1,500 healthcare workers
01:01:38have reportedly been killed,
01:01:40including at least 50 highly qualified specialists.
01:01:44A war in which Gaza's healthcare system has been destroyed.
01:01:48In May 2025,
01:02:02the IDF struck the European hospital,
01:02:06saying it killed Hamas military chief Mohamed Sinwar.
01:02:12In June, it issued an edited video
01:02:14IDF showed a tunnel under the hospital
01:02:16where Sinwar and other militants died
01:02:19and gave a media tour to some journalists.
01:02:27Also in May,
01:02:29Israeli government minister,
01:02:30Basil al-Smoltridge,
01:02:32vowed to destroy Gaza.
01:02:34A war in which Gaza has been destroyed.
01:03:04...and, of course, from there, they start to go, with a greater number of countries.
01:03:12This is an event that changes the history of the State of Israel for 20 years.
01:03:16We are living.
01:03:34This is a very good area of the State of Israel for 20 years.
01:03:39This is an event that is not a good one.
01:03:45This is a very good one.
01:03:47This is a very good one.
01:03:49This is a very good one.
01:03:52This is a very good one.
