Mr. Abed mentioned that he felt comforted when the Israeli forces brought another paramedic, Asaad al-Nasasra, who was still alive, to the group of detained individuals. Despite being in handcuffs and blindfolded, Mr. al-Nasasra whispered information about their colleagues, recalling Mr. Abed.

According to Mr. al-Nasasra, two of the colleagues were injured, with one of them in a serious condition. The last time he saw them, Mr. al-Nasasra mentioned that two others were reciting the Shahada.

Mr. Abed recalled that an Israeli soldier claimed triumphantly that all of their colleagues were deceased, using broken Arabic as he mocked them. Mr. Abed responded by saying, “May God have mercy on their souls.”

Another soldier said in broken Arabic that God had taken those individuals to hell.

Later, the soldiers took Mr. al-Nasasra away, and he remains missing, according to the Red Crescent.

That afternoon, Dr. al-Bardawil and Mr. Abed were asked by the soldiers to inform a large group of civilians who had gathered in the area to leave. After doing so, they were released, they stated.

Hastily leaving, Mr. Abed left behind his jacket, ID card, and bank card.

His parents were in a state of panic since they heard about the attacks.

His mother, Somaya Abed, who is 49 years old, sent him a text message at 7:52 a.m. that day, pleading with him to confirm he was okay. According to a message she showed to a New York Times reporter, there was no response until Mr. Abed was released around 4 p.m. He immediately called his father.

“I am finally out and safe,” the younger Mr. Abed said.

However, due to the repeated beatings he endured for hours, he could barely walk. He had to be transported home by a Red Crescent vehicle.
