An Israeli citizen, Hassan Issa Alkshalaa from Rahat, has died while being held as a security prisoner in the Beersheba prison complex. The Israel Prison Service has refused to disclose the cause of his death, stating the circumstances are confidential and that the incident has been reported to police. Alkshalaa was scheduled for release in six months, and the nature of his alleged security offenses remains unclear. Rights groups report that he is among around a hundred security prisoners who have died in Israeli custody since the start of the two-year war in Gaza, amid growing concerns over overcrowding and worsening conditions for inmates, including reports of malnutrition and abuse. The treatment of security prisoners has become a contentious issue, with officials highlighting the harsher conditions as a deliberate policy shift.
