Palestinian detainee, 22, dies in Israeli hospital

A 22-year-old Palestinian is suspected to have died of injuries he sustained while being detained in an Israeli prison, Wafa news agency reported on Monday.

Lo’ay Faisal Nasr-Allah, from Jenin in the West Bank, was transferred from Ketziot Prison to Soroka Medical Centre, where he died on Monday.

Nasr-Allah was taken into detention on 26 March 2024 and had no prior health issues before being held captive.

Hamas issued a statement on Monday following Nasr-Allah’s death, saying, "We warn of the catastrophic conditions of our prisoners in occupation jails amid ongoing abuses against them.

“The crimes of killing prisoners in occupation jails require intervention at all levels: official, popular, and human rights, they added.

“We call for pressure on the occupation and support for our prisoners in light of the brutality and criminality they are subjected to”.
