Dr. Mazen Al-Rantisi, 71, chair of the Union of Health Work Committees, was arrested by Israeli forces in a pre-dawn raid on his home in Ramallah's al-Tira neighborhood. The Union was designated unlawful by Israel in 2020 and had its headquarters closed in 2022, though it remains registered with the Palestinian Authority. Reporting on the arrest draws exclusively from left-center sources The Guardian and Haaretz.
