Jerusalem: A prominent Hamas leader in the West Bank, Mustafa Muhammad Abu Ara, has died while in Israeli custody, according to statements from Palestinian authorities and the militant group. The 63-year-old Abu Ara passed away after being transferred from a prison in southern Israel to a hospital. This information was confirmed by a joint statement from the Palestinian Authority's prisoners' affairs body and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club watchdog.
Hamas issued a statement mourning the loss of Abu Ara, describing him as a leader and prisoner, and blaming Israeli authorities for his death. "We mourn the passing of the leader and prisoner Sheikh Mustafa Muhammad Abu Ara and hold the occupation responsible for his assassination through deliberate medical neglect," the statement read.

Abu Ara was arrested in October while already suffering from severe health problems, according to the Palestinian body and the watchdog. They further alleged that during his detention, he was subjected to torture and starvation.
The Israeli military has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter. However, earlier this month, Palestinian authorities accused Israel of conducting an abusive "war of revenge" against Palestinian detainees since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to these accusations, the Israeli military stated it "rejects outright allegations concerning systematic abuse of detainees," asserting that it acts within the bounds of international law.
The death of Abu Ara is likely to intensify the already high tensions between Israel and Palestine, particularly in light of ongoing hostilities and the humanitarian crisis in the region.
