It stated Mustafa Muhammad Abu Ara died following his transfer from Ramon jail in southern Israel to a hospital. According to the Commission, Mustafa required close medical monitoring before his arrest due to severe health issues.

However, he has been the victim of unusual crimes like other prisoners, Sheikh Abu Ara from the start of the genocidal war at the moment of his arrest.

The Palestinian body claimed that Mustafa was arrested in October 2023 and suffered torture, abuse, and no access to medical care.

Ultimately, top Hamas leader Mustafa Muhammad Ara died in Israeli custody after suffering nine months of torture and inhumane treatment. However, Israel avoided commenting immediately on his death.

Moreover, the report of the Palestinian Prisoners Association stated that at least 18 Palestinians have lost their lives while arrested by Israel since the Gaza war began on October 7.
