Today, the Israeli terrorist authorities abducted and held hostage Dr. Mahmoud Talal al-Najjar, a Palestinian doctor and academic, at the Kerem Abu Salem crossing.
Dr. al-Najjar is the sole survivor of his immediate family. In October 2024, an Israeli terrorist airstrike on their home in Jabalia killed his wife, Alaa Salem, and their four children: Rinat, Yazan, Mohammed, and Amr, along with several other relatives.
After enduring unimaginable loss, he spent months trying to secure a travel permit to continue his advanced medical specialization at the University of Tor Vergata in Italy.
Today he was kidnapped by the murderers of his family.
