   An Israeli court has heard that a Palestinian prisoner from the West   
   Bank was found dead in his prison cell a few days after having been   
   beaten by prison guards.   
      
    In a press statement on Wednesday, the Palestinian Commission for   
   Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs said, “all the evidence and   
   testimony” related to the sudden death of Abdul-Rahman Marei   
   “conclusively prove that he was tortured by the Israeli prison guards   
   on November 7.” This subsequently led to his death on November 13.   
      
   “The last conclusive evidence of this crime was the confession of the   
   Israeli occupation’s representative in the Hadera Court during a   
   session held today, in the presence of a legal team from the   
   commission,” the statement added.   
      
   The commission explained that an Israeli government representative   
   recounted that Marei, from the town of Salfit, “was severely beaten   
   and assaulted by a large group of jailers after he quarreled with one   
   of them,” reports the WAFA news agency.   
      
   Marei was denied the necessary medical treatment, and only examined by   
   a “clinic”, which indicated “severe injuries to his face and the upper   
   part of his body, especially the abdomen, and a defect in the lungs,”   
   the report continues.   
      
   He was reportedly transferred to a solitary confinement cell as he was   
   suffering from bleeding, the representative said, noting that “he died   
   on November 13.”   
      
   The representative disclosed that Marei was not provided with any   
   treatment and was not medically examined again until the day of his   
   death, despite the clinic knowing “that beating him caused a lung   
   disorder,” the report added.   
      
   The commission said Israeli authorities will re-examine Marei’s body,   
   adding that the initial forensic doctor’s report did not clearly   
   determine the cause of death.   
      
   A final report will be issued on the cause of death, and a session has   
   been scheduled for January 25, the report continues.   
      
   At least six Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons in an   
   ongoing Israeli campaign, coinciding with the Israeli aggression on   
   Gaza since October 7, reports WAFA.   
      
   In a statement issued on January 15, the Commission and the   
   Palestinian Prisoners Society, reported that the total number of   
   Palestinians arrested in the West Bank since October 7, has increased   
   to 5930.
