Head of Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital released after months of detention

The director of Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital was released from Israeli custody early Monday, apparently without charge, seven months after he was detained on accusations of working with Hamas militants.


Mohamed Abu Salmiya was arrested from a U.N. convoy carrying wounded civilians away from heavy fighting in Gaza City during one of the most indelible chapters of Israel's nine-month military operation in Gaza, as Israeli officials presented a controversial raid on the al-Shifa medical complex as a crucial war aim.
