Palestinian prisoner from Gaza dies in Israeli custody

A Palestinian man from the Gaza Strip who was arrested at the start of Israel’s war on the enclave along with his brother and was injured during detention has died in Israeli custody, according to the Palestinian Prisoners and Detainees’ Affairs Commission. The monitoring group said in a statement that Israeli authorities released no information about the 34-year-old during his detention, and did not allow him any visits. He is believed to have been held at Ayalon Prison in Ramla before being transferred to the Shamir Medical Centre, also known as Assaf Harofeh Centre, where he was announced dead today.
