Israeli occupation authorities this morning killed a Palestinian man hours after arresting him, according to Palestinian human rights sources.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said occupation forces informed the family of 33-year-old Yassin Omar Al-Saradih from Jericho that he had died following his arrest.

The director of Prisoners’ Club in Jericho said occupation stormed the city and raided Al-Saradih’s house, assaulting him during his arrest.

Al-Saradih “was not suffering from diseases, and the occupation soldiers arrested him while he was in a good health condition.”
