The brother of an IDF soldier wounded in combat and hospitalized at Rambam Medical Center alleged Sunday evening that Arabic-speaking staff members abused the soldier, including banging his head against the bed. According to Channel 14, the brother said the soldier told him the day after the incident and begged the family not to leave him.
The brother of a wounded IDF soldier at Rambam Medical Center issued a new allegation Sunday evening, claiming that Arabic-speaking hospital staff abused the soldier and banged his head against the bed. The account, reported by Channel 14, comes hours after the same outlet reported on a lack of security and staff responsiveness for wounded soldiers at the hospital.
Earlier Sunday, the father of a fallen soldier published a detailed account alleging that his nephew, also an IDF soldier wounded in Lebanon, was left unattended and begging for water at Rambam during a night shift staffed by Arabic-speaking personnel. The hospital and the IDF have not yet responded to the latest allegations. The claims remain unverified by independent sources.
