RAMALLAH, Friday, October 14, 2022 (WAFA) – A Palestinian prisoner has Friday succumbed to the wounds he sustained as he was being detained by Israeli forces, sources confirmed.

They said that Mohammad al-Saeed Ghawadra, 17, from the refugee camp of Jenin, died due to the severe injuries he sustained 

Al-Saeed underwent an operation at the Israeli Tal Hashomer hospital, during which his left hand was amputated, following suffering severe and deep burns in 90% of his body.

The Israeli occupation forces detained Ghawadra, along with his wounded cousin, Mohammad Walid Gawadra (22 years), on September 4th in the Jordan Valley. Their detention was extended in absentia, several times.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) indicated that Ghawadra's killing has risen the number of Palestinian slain prisoners to 232 since 1967.
