The Palestinian Prisoners Club non-governmental organisation has said a Palestinian 17-year-old died in Israel’s Megiddo prison in unknown circumstances, AFP reports.
In a statement, the NGO announced “the death of Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad (17 years old), a minor detainee from the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, in Megiddo Prison” in Israel, adding he was the 63rd Palestinian to die in Israeli jails since the start of Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
AFP could not immediately confirm the death with Israeli prison authorities.
