Gaza Herald – A special Israeli force abducted nurse Tasnim al-Hams from her post at a medical point in Khan Younis. This comes just weeks after her father, Dr. Marwan al-Hams, was kidnapped in July under similar circumstances despite suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg.
Denied access to lawyers and due medical care, his case highlights Israel’s deliberate strategy of targeting medical professionals to collapse Gaza’s health system.
Since October 2023, Israel has detained over 360 healthcare workers, including doctors and paramedics, often invading hospitals and arresting staff on duty.
Dr. al-Hams’ case is no exception: his public removal and now the targeting of his children expose the calculated brutality of this campaign, where even healing hands are not spared in Israel’s genocidal war.
