His family said that Abu Warda, who was detained by Israeli army forces in Gaza on 20 November 2023, had no known health issues before his detention.
His death brought the number of Palestinians who died in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023, to 50, according to Palestinian figures.
“This marks the highest death toll among Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody since 1967,” the statement added.
