Palestinian Detainee Dies in Israeli Custody
(MENAFN) Another Palestinian prisoner has died while in Israeli custody, according to human rights organizations on Sunday.
Sakhr Ahmad Khalil Zghoul, 26, from Husan, a town located west of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, passed away at Israel’s Ofer Prison, situated west of Ramallah, the Palestinian Prisoner Society and the Palestinian Commission of Detainees Affairs stated in a joint announcement.
The organizations did not disclose any information regarding the circumstances surrounding his death.
Zghoul had been detained without trial or formal charges under Israel’s administrative detention policy since June 11. His brother is also currently held under the same conditions.
His passing occurred just four days after another prisoner from Husan died in custody.
Palestinian sources report that at least 86 detainees have died in Israeli prisons since October 2023, while rights organizations estimate the number exceeds 100 during the same timeframe.
“What Israel’s system of brutality is inflicting on prisoners and detainees amounts to nothing less than a systematic genocide,” the joint statement said.
Palestinian authorities further estimate that over 9,300 Palestinians are currently imprisoned in Israel, including more than 50 women and roughly 350 children, in addition to those held in Israeli military detention facilities.
