The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said on Sunday that prisoner Mohamed Mousa, a 37-year-old from Bethlehem, died at the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba.
According to a statement issued by the Commission and PPS, the Israeli occupation authority informed on Friday the Palestinian civil affairs office that prisoner Mousa died at the hospital on Friday.
Mousa, married with three kids, had been in detention since April 20, 2023. It was the first time he was kidnaped and jailed.
“Prisoner Mousa did not suffer from any chronic health problems before he was arrested. However, there was not enough information about the circumstances of his martyrdom,” the Commission and PPS said.
They underlined that different systematic crimes in Israeli jails, such as torture, medical neglect and starvation, were the main reasons for the martyrdom of 40 Palestinian detainees following the October 7th events, pointing out that prisoner Mousa is the 41st victim.
They accused the Israeli government and its far-right security minister Itamar Ben Gvir of giving explicit orders to practice systematic violations against the Palestinian prisoners with the aim of killing them.
