Palestinian medic missing since deadly IDF attack on convoy is being detained by Israel, Red Cross says
A Palestinian medic who has been missing for almost three weeks since an attack by Israeli troops on a convoy of emergency vehicles is being held by Israel.
A Palestinian medic who has been missing for almost three weeks since a deadly attack by Israeli troops on a convoy of emergency vehicles in the Gaza Strip is being detained by Israel, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Wednesday.
The ICRC “received information” that Assad al-Nassasra was being held “in an Israeli place of detention,” chief spokesperson Christian Cardon said in a statement Wednesday.
He added that the organization had informed Nassasra's family along with his employer, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
The PRCS said Monday in a post on X that until it was informed by the ICRC that Nassasra was alive, “his fate had remained unknown since he was targeted along with other PRCS medics in Rafah.”
The Israel Defense Forces would not confirm if Nassasra was in its custody when asked about his whereabouts by NBC News.
