 The head of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza has been released after more than seven months of detention by Israel. Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmi was detained at Al-Shifa Hospital last November. It came after Israeli forces had besieged the enclave's biggest hospital for days, saying that it contained a key Hamas command and control center. Hamas and the hospital administration denied this. At the time, the hospital housed several thousand medical staff and patients, as well as around 15,000 displaced people.
