Palestinian detainee dies in Israeli prison
Khaled Abdullah, a 40-year-old from Jenin camp in the occupied West Bank, has died in Israel’s Megiddo Prison, reports the Palestinian Prisoners Society.
Abdullah, whose family said he had no health problems prior to his arrest, had been held under administrative detention since November 9, 2023. He had a wife and four children.
He is the 61st Palestinian to die in Israeli custody since the war on Gaza began, according to the Prisoners Society, which accused Israel of upholding a “system of brutality”.

Hamas accuses Israel of ‘torture, medical neglect’ after death of detainee
Hamas has issued a statement after it was announced that Khaled Abdullah, a Palestinian detained by Israeli forces in November 2023, died in Israeli prison.
Hamas said he endured “torture” and “mistreatment” while in detention.
Abdullah’s death, Hamas said in a statement, shows Israel’s “brutality… in dealing with our prisoners and depriving them of their most basic human rights, while continuing the policy of medical neglect, which means the slow death of prisoners inside the prisons”.
“We warn against the continuation of this criminal policy… and renew our call to all free people of the world, human rights and legal organisations to pressure the occupation and hold it accountable for its crimes against our people.”
Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, Israeli forces have detained more than 14,500 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, many of whom are held without formal charges.
