Today's Highlighted Video Story: Footage filmed by the Israeli military has emerged showing the moments before Hussam Abu Safiya, 51, was detained. The whereabouts of Kamal Adwan Hospital's Director remain unknown, leading to his family's pleas for his immediate release. The Israeli military said on Saturday that Abu Safia was held for questioning, on suspicion of “being a Hamas terrorist operative”. It arrested more than 240 people from the hospital premises. Since October 6, Israel’s operations in Gaza have focused on the north, where the military says its land and air offensive aims to prevent Hamas from regrouping.
