2 Palestinians from Gaza died in Israeli custody, prisoner advocacy groups say

Two Palestinian detainees from Gaza have died in Israeli custody, prisoner advocacy groups say, bringing the number of detainees reported to have died in prison since the start of the war to 47.

They name the two men as Mohammad Idris and Muath Rayyan, both in their 30s.

The Israel Prison Service says the cases are not under its jurisdiction, and there is no immediate comment from the military, which runs detention facilities.

Israel has denied accusations from Palestinian and international human rights organizations that detainees have been mistreated and tortured in its jails and detention facilities.
