Jenin resident Ayman Rajeh Abed has died as a result of beatings and torture by Israeli security forces, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said in a joint statement, Al Jazeera reports.
“According to the initial medical examination of the martyr Abed … the traces of the handcuffs were clear on his hands, and the traces of beating and torture on his body,” the statement said.
Abed, 58, was arrested from his home earlier today.
At least 24 Palestinians have been killed in a five-day Israeli assault that began on Wednesday, one of the largest raids in the occupied West Bank in decades.
