Palestinian prisoner dies in Israeli jail three days before his scheduled release
A Palestinian man who nearly completed his prison sentence in an Israeli jail has died, the Palestinian Authority's Commission of Detainees' and Ex-Detainees' Affairs reported on Thursday. Musab Adili, 20, from the village of Osarin near Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank, died in the Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva last night, the Israeli Civil Administration told the Palestinian side. Adili had been detained since 22 March 2024 and was serving a 13-month prison sentence. He was scheduled to be released in three days. The cause of Adili's death remains unclear due to a ban on lawyers' visits imposed by the Israel Prison Service. Luay Adili, his uncle, told Middle East Eye that the young man had been held in Megiddo Prison throughout his detention, and that he had been moved to Naqab Prison about a month ago.

"Two weeks ago, a prisoner was released from Naqab Prison and told us that Musab was fine and sent us his greetings. Then today, we are shocked by the news of his death without knowing any details," he said. The family, who was preparing to celebrate Adili's release, is now asking to recover his body to bury him in the village. According to the Commission of Detainees' and Ex-Detainees' Affairs, his death brings the number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli prisons since 7 October 2023 to 64, including at least 40 people from the Gaza Strip. The figures include only those whose identities are known, as the whereabouts of many Palestinians are unknown among accusations of forced disappearances by the Israeli forces amid the ongoing war in Gaza. The total number of Palestinian prisoners who have died in Israeli jail since 1967 has reached 301, while the number of prisoners whose bodies are being held by the Israeli authorities has reached 73, including 62 since October 2023, according to Palestinian data. 'Systematic crimes' The commission accused the Israeli prison authorities of subjecting Palestinian detainees to "systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults of all kinds, medical crimes, sexual assaults and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to their contracting serious and contagious diseases." "The rising number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes for thousands of them who are still held in prisons," the commission said in the statement announcing Adili's death. "This eerie silence about the genocide taking place in the Gaza Strip and the other side of the genocide in Israeli prisons is increasing the number of Palestinian victims at a rapid and frightening rate' - Amani Sarahneh, Palestinian Prisoners' Club Two weeks ago, the Israel Prison Service announced the death of a Palestinian child from Ramallah in Megiddo Prison. The autopsy revealed that Walid Khalid Abdullah Ahmed, 17, had been subjected to systematic starvation as well as deliberate beatings. While Israel has long been criticised for its brutal treatment of Palestinian prisoners, conditions have significantly worsened since the Gaza war. Prisoners' rights groups have accused Israel of pursuing a deliberate policy to kill them. Amani Sarahneh, spokesperson for the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, told MEE that every day, a prisoner risks dying because of the horrific conditions they endure in Israeli prisons. She described Adili's death as a consequence of the international community's failure to condemn the brutal treatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, which has claimed a growing number of lives. "This eerie silence about the genocide taking place in the Gaza Strip and the other side of the genocide in Israeli prisons is increasing the number of Palestinian victims at a rapid and frightening rate," Sarahneh said. As of early March, the number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails had reached more than 9,500, including 350 children and 21 women. Adili's death coincided with Palestinian Prisoners' Day, which is marked every year on 17 April to shed light on the plight of Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons.

Palestinian prisoner from Nablus killed in Israeli jail
Occupied Quds - Saba: The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club announced today, Thursday, the death of prisoner Musab Hassan Adili (20 years old) from the town of Usrin, south of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank. The Commission and the Club quoted the Civil Affairs Authority as saying that prisoner Adili, who had been detained since March 22, 2024, and was serving a one-year and one-month prison sentence, died last night at Soroka Hospital in occupied Palestine. The Commission and the Club stated that prisoner Adili joins the list of martyrs of the prisoners' movement, who have died as a result of the organized crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation prison system in an unprecedented manner since the beginning of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. The Commission and the Club stated that with Adili's martyrdom, the number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees since the genocide has risen to 64. Their identities are the only ones known, given the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance. At least 40 of them are from Gaza. This constitutes the bloodiest phase in the history of the prisoners' movement and the Palestinian people. The number of martyrs from the prisoner movement whose identities are known since 1967 has reached 301, while the number of martyr prisoners whose bodies are being held has reached 73, including 62 since the genocide. The Commission and the Club added that Adili's martyrdom on Palestinian Prisoners' Day "constitutes a new crime in the record of the brutal Zionist regime, which has practiced all forms of crimes aimed at killing prisoners. These crimes constitute another aspect of the ongoing genocide." They warned that the rising number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes for thousands of prisoners and detainees to be held in occupation prisons, and as they continue to be exposed to systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults of all kinds, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to serious and contagious diseases, most notably scabies, in addition to unprecedented policies of deprivation and deprivation. The Commission and the Club held the occupation fully responsible for the death of prisoner Adili and renewed their call for the international human rights community to move forward with effective decisions to hold the occupation leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against the Palestinian people. They also called for the imposition of sanctions on the occupation that would place it in a state of clear international isolation, restore the human rights system to its fundamental role for which it was created, put an end to the horrific state of impotence it has suffered during the war of extermination, and end the exceptional immunity the world has granted the occupying state, which considers it above accountability, accountability, and punishment.

Another Palestinian detainee dies in Israeli jails - War on Gaza
Palestinian prisoners' rights groups announced that Palestinian detainee Musab Hassan Adili had lost his life in an Israeli jail. Prisoner Musab Adili, from the village of Osarin, south of Nablus, died at Soroka Hospital last night, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) said in a joint statement on Thursday. Adili, 20, was detained on 22 March 2024 and had been serving a sentence of one year and a month. He died just three days before his scheduled release. The statement said Adili's death adds to the growing list of prisoners killed as a result of the Israeli prison authorities' organized crimes, which have unprecedentedly escalated since the beginning of the current genocide in Gaza. It added that his death raises the number of Palestinian detainees killed in Israeli jails since the start of Israel's war on Gaza to 64, 40 of whom, at least, were from Gaza. The groups also noted that these are only the identified cases, referring to the crime of enforced disappearance, which continues to obscure the true scale of deaths in Israeli custody. Furthermore, they emphasized that detainees are subjected to systematic daily abuses, including torture, starvation, various forms of physical assault, medical neglect, sexual violence, and deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to the spread of serious and contagious diseases, most notably scabies. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs had earlier stated that the number of Palestinians currently held in Israeli prisons stands at 9,900.
