A Palestinian administrative detainee died on Thursday in Israeli jails, Palestinian rights groups said.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society, in a joint statement confirmed that Mohammed Ahmad Al-Sabar, 21, died in an Israeli prison.

Al-Sabar from Al-Dhahiriya town near al-Khalil city in the southern West Bank has been held in an Israeli jail under an administrative detention order with no charge or trial since May 2022.

His administrative detention was extended last November for another four months, the rights groups said.

Al-Sabar is the eighth Palestinian to die in Israeli prisons since the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip began on Oct. 7.

The death toll in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem has mounted to 400 since October 7, while figures on Palestinian prisoners indicate the arrest of 6,920 people during the same period.
