Palestinian Medic Who Survived Israeli Massacre of Medical Workers Released from Israeli Jail
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel has released a jailed Gaza paramedic who survived a deadly attack
on medical workers last month. Assaad al-Nassasra was among at least 10
Palestinians released from an Israeli prison into Gaza Tuesday - all of
them in poor physical and psychological health, after they reported
being tortured. Al-Nassasra was imprisoned without charge and held
incommunicado for 37 days, after he survived the March 23 assault in
which 15 of his fellow aid workers were killed by Israeli troops and
buried in an unmarked mass grave - some of them bound and with gunshot
wounds to the head and chest.
