Palestinian Gynecologist Remains in Detention After Heart Attack

The Arrest and Hospitalization

Dr. Dima Amin was arrested by IDF soldiers at her home in Ramallah early in the morning. During the arrest, she suffered a heart attack. She subsequently underwent cardiac catheterization, but is now being held at the detention facility in Jerusalem’s Russian Compound.

Amin is being questioned on suspicion of incitement on social media. The source does not provide the content of the posts that formed the basis of the investigation and does not report that an indictment was filed.

The Military Judge’s Decision

Two days after the catheterization, the military judge, Maj. Roi Malinger, accepted the position of police investigator Chief Warrant Officer Adi Levy. The investigator argued that grounds existed for Amin’s detention because of the danger she might pose. The judge extended her detention by five days; the next hearing was expected to take place on August 24, 2026.
