A Palestinian father of seven died in Israeli captivity on Saturday evening, according to the Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestine Prisoners Society, WAFA news agency reported.

Abdul-Rahim Abdul-Karim Amer, from Qalqilya, was killed while in custody in an Israeli occupation police prison.

In a joint press release, they stated that the 59-year-old died in "Israel's" "Hadarim" jail and characterized him as another Palestinian worker killed as a result of Israeli brutality, torture, and incarceration.

There is still no clear information on the circumstances surrounding Amer's death, who, together with his son, were seeking work when they were detained by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in "Tira", on March 17, 2024, according to the organizations concerned with Palestinian detainees affairs. 

They were both sentenced to a month in prison for allegedly entering the occupied territories without a permit.

Since October 7, 2023, at least 13 Palestinian detainees died inside Israeli occupation prisons, according to a joint statement by the Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestine Prisoners Society. Significantly, the detainees died from torture, medical negligence, and other medical crimes.

Medical neglect, torture killed 2 Palestinian detainees: Israeli media

Last month, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published the forensic findings regarding two Palestinian detainees who were martyred in Israeli prisons following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023.

According to the outlet, 21-year-old administrative detainee Mohammad al-Sabbar was martyred in February due to Israeli medical neglect, as he had been suffering from a severe illness without receiving adequate medical attention.

Meanwhile, bruises found on the body of Abdulrahman al-Bahsh, 23, indicate possible torture he was subjected to during his time in Israeli prisons.

Al-Sabbar had been detained since May 2022 and had been denied medical treatment in the Israeli prison despite suffering from stomach- and intestines-related health issues, requiring specialized treatment and specific dietary needs.

Palestinian organizations focusing on detainees' rights have accused "Israel" of committing two crimes against al-Sabbar; his continued arbitrary detention under a "secret file" pretext and a medical crime involving denial of treatment. He was the eighth detainee to die in Israeli custody since October 7, 2023.

Abdulrahman al-Bahsh, from Nablus, was martyred in the Israeli "Megiddo" prison, where he had been detained since May 31, 2022, with a 35-month sentence. He was the first detainee to die in Israeli prisons in 2024.
