Dr. Adnan al-Bursh's injury while performing surgery at the Indonesian Hospital

Submitted by admin on

While he was working in the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip in November 2023, a video circulated documenting the moment he was injured and became soaked in blood while conducting a surgical operation in an Israeli airstrike targeting the hospital. He was operated on in the darkness due to a power outage, before Israeli forces raided the hospital and forced those in it to evacuate.
