Israeli forces returned the body of Palestinian man Ayman Rajeh Abed to health authorities just one hour after his detention in the West Bank. Abed, a 58-year-old from Kafr Dan near Jenin, was reportedly beaten and tortured, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

The Israeli army claimed Abed died from a “cardiac event” during a “counterterrorism” operation, which is now under review. This incident occurred amidst a sixth day of attacks on Jenin and surrounding areas, with bulldozers destroying roads and infrastructure.

Israel launched a major offensive in the West Bank to prevent an alleged “Iranian-backed” attack on Israeli settlements. The operation has resulted in at least 29 Palestinian deaths and 121 injuries, with Israeli forces targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad members.

Since the Gaza war last October, Palestinian casualties have risen, with over 640 deaths and 10,000 detentions reported. Many detainees have endured torture and abuse, highlighting the ongoing violence and human rights violations in the region.
