"A young Palestinian man has died while being held in captivity by Israeli authorities, according to the Palestinian Authority, as Israeli military and settler violence across the occupied West Bank reaches levels unseen in decades, and its genocidal war on Gaza continues unabated. Abdul Rahman al-Sabateen, 21, from Husan near Bethlehem, died at a Jerusalem medical facility on Tuesday night after being arrested by Israeli soldiers in late June, the PA said in a statement."
"His family reported seeing no signs of illness when they last visited him during a court appearance on November 25. The death comes as Israeli forces arrested more than 100 Palestinians in dawn raids across the West Bank on Wednesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office said. The sweeps targeted cities including Nablus, where approximately 30 people were detained, and Silwad, where another 24 were taken into custody. Witnesses told the Wafa news agency that soldiers entered homes, confiscating belongings and jewellery during the operations."
"Al-Sabateen's death brings to at least 94 the number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli detention since October 2023, according to Physicians for Human Rights Israel, which has documented what it describes as systematic torture in both military and prison facilities. The organisation's recent report details cases involving beatings, medical neglect and deliberate starvation. The United Nations human rights office has separately confirmed at least 75 deaths during the same period,"

His family reported no signs of illness when they last visited him during a November 25 court appearance. Israeli forces carried out dawn raids across the West Bank, arresting more than 100 Palestinians, including roughly 30 in Nablus and 24 in Silwad, with witnesses reporting home searches and confiscations. Human-rights groups report at least 94 detention deaths since October 2023, documenting systematic torture, beatings, medical neglect and deliberate starvation, while the UN confirmed at least 75 detention-related deaths and said imposed conditions amount to torture or ill-treatment. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the Gaza war began amid escalating military and settler violence.
