Dr. Mohammed Sakar faces retribution because he prevented Islamic Jihad from exploiting the hospital for terror purposes.
A Gazan doctor was threatened by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) for preventing its members from using a local hospital as a terror base, then forced to delete his Facebook post about the incident.
Dr. Mohammed Sakar, the head of Nasser Hospital‘s nursing department, wrote on the social media platform that the terror organization was targeting him, due to his refusal to allow the medical facility to be exploited by PIJ operatives.
“As head of the department, I exerted all efforts to reopen the hospital and I succeeded… in serving the wounded,” Sakar wrote, according to a screenshot of his Facebook post shared by Israel’s COGAT on social media platform X.
