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, Al Jazeera reports, according to 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”.
