Overview

• Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines released an investigation on September 18 detailing the December 27, 2024 raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
• The program reports that Israeli forces detained about 240 staff and patients, stripped detainees, and rendered the 300‑bed facility inoperable.
• Hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya was beaten and taken into custody under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law with no public charges or release date reported, according to the film.
• The investigation draws on eyewitness testimony, archival footage, and a widely shared 10‑second video showing Abu Safiya walking through rubble toward Israeli soldiers.
• Fault Lines situates the raid within a wider collapse of healthcare in northern Gaza as hospitals were treated as both sanctuaries and targets during intensified operations.
