Palestinian officials name detainee who died in Israeli custody
The detainee who died earlier today in Israeli custody has been named by Palestinian officials as Nasser Khalil Radaydeh.
The 49-year-old was from al-Ubeidiya, in the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem. He was transferred to Hadasa hospital on Saturday from Israel's Ofer Prison.
Radaydeh was a married father of seven. He has been imprisoned since 18 September 2023, according to Palestinian media.
The total number of Palestinians to die in Israeli custody since the war on Gaza began has now risen to 65. At least 40 of these detainees are from Gaza.
It marks the deadliest period for Palestinian prisoners since 1967.
In a joint statement, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said they held Israel responsible for Radaydeh's death.
