A Hamas source told CNN that Israel informed mediators it would not release two prominent doctors arrested during the war, Husam Abu Safia and Marwan al-Hams. They are considered two of Gaza's top health system officials, and their detention has sparked international condemnation and calls for their immediate release from human rights organizations. Abu Safia was arrested last December, while al-Hams was arrested in July this year. Security sources have previously described that some doctors in Gaza hospitals "operate on behalf of Hamas and assist the organization's fighters," but without specific details regarding Abu Safia and al-Hams.
