ALBAWABA - According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, questioned why a large number of Palestinians were arrested at Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip and why some were not killed during a government session last week.

While Chief of Staff Hertzi Halevi was reviewing the Israeli occupation army's activities in the Al-Shifa compound and referring to the arrest of several people, Ben Gvir asked Halevi why so many detainees were there and whether some could be killed. 

The government in Gaza, along with human rights organizations and eyewitnesses, declared that horrific massacres took place at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex when it was stormed twice by occupying forces, alleging that the resistance leadership was present inside.

Earlier, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir sustained injuries in a traffic accident near the site of a stabbing. 

Official reports confirm that Ben Gvir's injuries are minor, although Channel 12 suggests they may range between minor and moderate.

The accident occurred when Ben Gvir's vehicle reportedly disregarded a red light, leading to the vehicle overturning. Ben Gvir has been transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital near Tel Aviv for medical attention.

Minister Ben-Gvir feels good, is conscious, and will continue to receive medical treatment at Assaf HaRofeh Hospital," Itamar Ben-Gvir's office said.
