- Story Text: Hundreds of Palestinians attended on Friday (September 12) the funeral of a Palestinian prisoner from Hebron who died in an Israeli prison.
Raed Al-Jabari, 35, died on Tuesday (September 9) and Palestinian officials said that he was beaten to death by Israeli captors.
"Israel continues to commit crimes and to kill Palestinian prisoners. The Palestinian leadership should move urgently and appeal to international courts," said Amjad Al-Najjar head of Palestinians Prisoners Club office in Hebron.
Israeli prison services said that Al-Jabari committed suicide and died after they moved him to hospital.
The case is being investigated by a court and the judge is expected to announce the results after checking the autopsy report.
