Palestinian gynaecologist Dima Amin has been held in Israeli custody since last Tuesday, following a reported cardiac episode. Israeli soldiers forcibly entered her home in Ramallah and arrested her over an alleged social media post. Amin's family claims she experienced severe chest pain immediately after her arrest and was later taken to Moscovia detention centre.
Israeli authorities have not released any medical reports regarding her condition. Human rights organisations have condemned the treatment of Amin, calling it part of a broader pattern of attacks on humanitarian and community work in the Palestinian territories.
