A Palestinian detainee, Mahmoud Talal Abdullah, has died at Israel’s Assaf Harofeh Hospital, the General Authority of Civil Affairs said. The 49-year-old Palestinian was from Jenin refugee camp, according to a statement by the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society on Telegram.
Israeli forces arrested him on February 1, added the statement, which stressed Abdullah’s health seriously deteriorated after his arrest, and it was discovered he was suffering from cancer.
“Despite medical tests confirming that he had advanced cancer, the occupation refused to release him and maintained his detention,” the statement said.
