Medical Report: Injury to Detained Nukhba Terrorist Was Self-Inflicted
(Ynet News) Raanan Ben-Zur - A medical report by Prof. Alon Pikarsky, head of the Department of General Surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem, presented Thursday to a military court, suggests that the rectal tear injury to a Palestinian Nukhba terrorist detained at the Sde Teiman detention facility was self-inflicted rather than caused by IDF soldiers. The incident has sparked nationwide controversy and drew global attention to the treatment of Palestinian prisoners, as reservist guards at the facility were apprehended by military police. The report, based on the terrorist's medical records, says that there was no evidence of trauma to his anus upon arrival at the hospital, and a CT scan revealed no unusual problems. After the tear was discovered, the terrorist underwent surgery that included an examination of the area, which again found no signs of trauma.
