Mustafa Muhammad Abu Ara, 63, a prominent Hamas figure in the West Bank, died in a hospital after being transferred from the Ramon prison in southern Israel, according to Palestinian officials. Hamas claims that Abu Ara was the victim of a “slow killing,” alleging that Israeli prison officials refused to provide him medical treatment for a chronic condition.
In a statement, Hamas called on its fighters to “aim bullets and explosives at occupation soldiers and settlers in revenge for the blood of the martyr and other righteous martyrs.” This call for retaliation underscores the escalating tensions between Hamas and Israel.
There has been no official comment from Israel regarding the death of Abu Ara, which has raised the number of detainees killed in Israeli custody to 19 since October 7. The Palestinian Authority has condemned the death, stating that Abu Ara was deprived of necessary medical care.
The situation in the West Bank remains volatile, with Hamas vowing to avenge Abu Ara’s death through further violence. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with many expressing concerns over the potential for further escalation and the impact on civilians.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
