JAKARTA - The Palestinian warrior group, Hamas, has asked Israel to take responsibility for the deaths of two Palestinians, including a doctor named Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, who died from torture in Israeli prisons.

In a statement on Thursday (2/5), Hamas said Palestinians kidnapped from Gaza later died from torture in Israeli prisons confirming terrible war crimes and continue against the Palestinian people.

"Israel forcibly took many of our citizens from schools and hospitals to detention centers, including doctors, whose crimes are their humanitarian duty to society," Hamas said.

Hamas demands information about the fate of detained Palestinians and international investigations into Israeli leaders.

Health workers killed in Gaza as a result of Israeli attacks reached 496, including the death of doctor Adnan al-Bursh at Israel's Ofer prison, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said.

"The murder of Dr. Adnan al-Bursh in Israeli prisons has increased the death toll in the health sector in the Gaza Strip since October 7 to 496," the ministry said in a statement Thursday (2/5).

The Palestinian Prisoner Society said two prisoners from the Gaza Strip had died in Israeli prisons.

The civil society organization that supports Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons identified the two victims as Adnan al-Bursh (50), a doctor, and Ismail Khader (33).

Al-Bursh is head of the orthopedic department at Al-Shifa Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.

He was arrested by Israeli soldiers last December while treating patients at the Al-Adwa Hospital in northern Gaza.

Hundreds of Palestinians are believed to have been detained by Israeli soldiers amid a deadly attack on the Gaza Strip.
