November 26, 2019

A Palestinian convicted over the killing of three Israelis died of cancer in custody Tuesday, officials said. The death, which sparked Palestinian accusations of neglect, comes amid heightened tension with protests already scheduled in multiple places in the occupied West Bank Tuesday. Israel's Prison Authority said a seriously ill unnamed "security prisoner" died after being transferred to an Israeli hospital.
