A prominent Palestinian doctor died while in Israeli police custody just six days after he was detained.
Dr. Iyad Rantisi, 53, the head of a women’s hospital part of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza’s city of Beit Lahia, was detained by the Israeli army last November. He died at the Shikma prison, a Shin Bet interrogation facility in southern Israel’s Ashkelon.
Shin Bet said they arrested the doctor because he was suspected of being involved in hiding Israeli captives.
