"Israel's health minister ordered state hospitals not to treat captured terrorists. Saving 'despicable' terrorists is not in line with Israel's mission.

Moshe Arbel on Wednesday afternoon issued a directive to Israel's public health system to refuse to treat captured terrorists. "In these difficult times, the public health system must focus entirely on treating victims of criminal massacres, IDF soldiers and preparing for the next war," Arbel said. "The task of securing and treating the damned and despicable terrorists within the public health system significantly harms this effort, and therefore, under my leadership, the public health system will not treat them." "The IDF or Shabak should be tasked with addressing this issue, and of course the Health Ministry is ready and willing to assist these bodies as needed."

In 2015, a different story...

"Israel has opened its borders with Syria in order to provide medical treatment to Nusra Front and al-Qaida fighters wounded in the ongoing civil war.

While Israel views al-Qaida and its allies as enemies, it is far more disturbed by what it views as an even bigger menace – Iran and its proxies. According to The Wall Street Journal, this attitude has caused tension with the United States, which has also targeted al-Qaida and Nusra Front fighters in Syria.

'We don’t ask who they are, we don’t do any screening," the official said. 'Once the treatment is done, we take them back to the border and they go on their way.'"
