The Palestinian Prisoners' Club and the Prisoners' Commission reported on Tuesday the martyrdom of prisoner Arafat Yasser Hamdan three days after he was detained.

Hamdan was a 25-year-old from Beit Sira, Ramallah District, and was being held in Ofer Prison.

According to the report, "The occupation began a systemic execution of prisoners."

In this regard, the Prisoners' Information Office revealed that the Prisoners' Execution Law, which was adopted by the occupation Knesset in the first reading, is currently being implemented within the occupation's prisons.

A proposed law in February this year permitting the killing of Palestinian detainees was passed by the Israeli occupation authority.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli police minister, was pushing the measure.

The Arab48 website reported that "the court can impose the death penalty on anyone who commits a murder offense on national grounds against the citizens of Israel," citing a joint statement released by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his minister Ben Gvir.

Sixteen Israeli legislators voted in support of the three-month temporary measure, which allows the Israeli regime's jails to accept additional convicts even if they are at capacity.

Fares confirmed to Al-Mayadeen that the IOF continues to cut off water, electricity, and telephone communication from its prisoners, as well as starving them and leaving them dehydrated.
