Four more Palestinian detainees from Gaza have died in Israeli custody, Al Jazeera reports.

A statement by the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society identified the four victims as Mohammad al-Akka, 44, Samir al-Kahlout, 52, Zuhair al-Sharif, 58, and Mohammad Lubbad, 57.

“What is happening to the detainees is just another aspect of the [Israeli] war of extermination,” the statement said.

New fatalities bring the number of Palestinian detainees who have died in Israeli custody since October 7, 2023 to 54, according to Palestinian figures.
