Ramallah, August 9 (Petra) - Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported on Sunday the death of 36-year-old Gaza resident Ihab Diab, who had been detained in Israeli prison since Dec. 12, 2023.

In its statement, the commission said Israeli prison authorities indicated he likely died on Sept. 18, 2024.

While the occupation's authorities attributed his death to an underlying medical condition, Diab's family rejected the claim, stating he was in good health prior to his detention.

Diab is the 328th Palestinian prisoner to die in Israeli custody since 1967, according to the commission. Of those deaths, 91 have occurred since Oct. 7, 2023, including 53 detainees from Gaza.

The commission renewed its call for international intervention to investigate prisoner treatment, demand transparency for Gaza detainees, and address allegations of enforced disappearances and abuse.
