Red Cross says Gaza medic missing since deadly attack being detained by Israel

# A Palestinian paramedic who has been missing since an Israeli attack that killed 15 other emergency workers in southern Gaza three weeks ago, is being detained by Israeli authorities. The International Committee of the Red Cross said it has information that Palestine Red Crescent Society medic Assad al-Nassasra was being held “in an Israeli place of detention”. The Society said Nassasra was “forcibly abducted” by Israeli troops following the attack and called for his immediate release. It says the incident was a war crime and called for an independent international investigation.
