Hamas detainees will now be treated in Israeli hospitals following a decision by the Health Ministry to shut down the Sde Teiman medical facility.

The closure comes after a decline in workload due to the transfer of detainees to other prisons and operational changes at the facility.

A Health Ministry spokesperson stated: “Recently, there has been a significant reduction in activity at the medical facility due to changes in the operations of the detention center and the transfer of detainees to other locations. As a result, the medical facility has had no patients for several days. The IDF and the ministry are making the necessary adjustments to the infrastructure to address current needs.”

Safieddine, a top Hezbollah official, was widely expected to succeed Nasrallah.
