The medic who has been missing since an Israeli strike on ambulances in Gaza last month is detained by the Israeli occupation, the Palestine Red Crescent Society announced on Sunday.
"We have been informed by the International Committee of the Red Cross that medic Asaad al-Nsasrah is being held by the Israeli occupation authorities," the PRCS revealed in a statement.
"His fate had remained unknown since he was targeted along with other PRCS medics in Rafah," the statement stated, referring to the attack that killed 15 medics and rescue workers.

The organization urged the international community to press the occupation to release the medic.
The PRCS last week stated that 15 medics and rescuers murdered by Israeli troops in Gaza last month were shot in the upper body with "intent to kill."
The attack took place in the southern Gaza Strip on March 23, days into a renewed Israeli aggression on the strip, attracting worldwide condemnation as "Israel" uses the exhausted excuse of Palestinian Resistance fighters present in the vehicles.
The video footage exposing the Israeli occupation forces' execution of 15 medics in Rafah has forced "Israel" to backtrack on its fabricated narrative, claiming its lies were "unintentionally made".
Further claims were made and later debunked by video evidence, including that the ambulances did not have their emergency light on and that the Israeli forces came under fire. The later Israeli military report claimed that the Israeli forces hid the bodies and the ambulances under the sand "to prevent them from being eaten by wild animals."
