US EditionGaza aid worker detained after Israeli attack has been released
- The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported on April 29, 2025, that Asaad al-Nsasrah, a Palestinian paramedic detained since March 23, has been released by Israeli forces near Gaza.
- Al-Nsasrah went missing after Israeli troops attacked an emergency convoy responding to a call near Rafah, southern Gaza, where 15 aid workers were killed in three shootings.
- The attack targeted ambulances, a fire engine, and a UN vehicle, killing 8 PRCS medics, 6 Civil Defence responders, and one UN worker, whose bodies were later found in a mass grave alongside crushed vehicles.
- The Israeli military attributed the killings to an operational misunderstanding and professional failures, stating troops fired on what they believed was a tangible threat, but the PRCS condemned the report as a distortion to avoid accountability.
- Al-Nsasrah, one of two survivors, arrived at Al-Amal Hospital in poor health after 37 days in detention, highlighting ongoing concerns about lack of accountability and its implications for international law.
