Palestinians from Gaza die within day of abduction by Israeli army

Five Palestinians from Gaza died in Israeli custody within the past day after being abducted by Israeli forces, a monitoring group said.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club on Monday confirmed the deaths of five Palestinians taken from Gaza and held in Israeli prisons.

The prisoners were identified as Ashraf Abu Warda, Mohammed al-Akka, Samir al-Kahlout, Zuhair al-Sharif and Mohammed Labad.

These deaths follow warnings from two Palestinian monitoring groups about "catastrophic conditions" in Israeli jails after the deaths of two other prisoners.
