35-year-old prisoner Ra'ed Al-Jabari, from Al-Khalil city, was proclaimed dead on Tuesday in an Israeli jail. The Palestinian prisoner society said that Jabari died in Eshel jail under mysterious circumstances and held his jailers fully responsible for his death.
Abdul-Salam al-Jabari, the prisoner's father, accused Israel of killing his son and demanded an immediate investigation.
The father said that Ra'ed spoke to his wife and children on Sunday and was in a good physical condition.
The Israeli prison authority claimed that the prisoner committed suicide, but the Palestinian prisoner society belied the Israeli allegation and called for international probe into the cause of his death.
In a separate incident, more than 40 Palestinian families of prisoners in al-Khalil on Monday handed the Red Cross a protest petition against Israel's confiscation of their prison visit permits.
The petition was submitted during a sit-in organized by the families outside the Red Cross headquarters in the city.
The families appealed to the Red Cross to seriously move to enable them to see their sons regularly in Israeli jails and pressure the Israeli side to end its arbitrary measures against all relatives of prisoners.
Israeli intelligence officers at Addahirya and Tarqoumiya checkpoints last week prevented over 40 Palestinian families from al-Khalil from visiting their relatives and sons in Ramon jail and confiscated their visit permits.

Mohammad Abd Al-Majid Sonnoqrot 16
Medical sources in occupied Jerusalem have reported that dozens of residents have been injured, on Monday evening, after Israeli soldiers and police officers attacked the funeral procession of a Palestinian teen who died of a serious injury suffered, after being shot by the soldiers, last week.
The slain Palestinian has been identified as Mohammad Sonnoqrot, 16 years of age.
Media sources in occupied Jerusalem said the family and hundreds of Palestinians conducted the funeral prayers at al-Aqsa mosque, before marching towards a graveyard for burial ceremonies.
However, the police and the army attacked the procession, firing gas bombs and rounds of live ammunition, causing dozens of injuries among the Palestinians.
The soldiers also invaded the local graveyard and kidnapped at least ten Palestinians, including a number of children. Some of the kidnapped have been identified as Zaki al-Mahlous, Shaker Nasreddeen, Anis ‘Ayesh and Nidal Sonnoqrot.
The Israeli attacks caused widespread protests and clashes in the area, and in Salah Ed-Deen Street, and several other areas in occupied Jerusalem.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli Police handed over the family the body of their son on Monday evening, despite promises to release his body earlier. He was instantly transported to Al-Maqasid Hospital in Jerusalem, before being moved to his family home in Wad al-Jouz.
Mohammad suffered a serious injury after being shot by Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem last week.
His father said that the doctors at the Hadassah Israeli Hospital said Mohammad was shot in the head by a rubber-coated metal bullet, and was moved to the Intensive Care Unit before being declared clinically dead two days ago. On Sunday, Sonnoqrot succumbed to his injuries.
The family said it would be filing a lawsuit against the police for shooting their son and causing his death.
Meanwhile, Israeli police spokesperson Luba Samri said the current information they have is that “there were clashes, and that the police used crowd dispersal means,and alleged that the police “did not use rubber-coated metal bullets."
She claimed that the Palestinian teenager was shot by a “sponge-coated” round in his leg, and apparently fell onto the ground while running away," causing a serious injury to the head.
Samri refrained from providing further details due to what she called "legal issues,” and said only that the case had been moved to the complaints department of the police in Jerusalem.

Muhammad Abd Al-Majid Sunuqrut 16
A Palestinian teenager from Jerusalem who was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier with a rubber-coated steel bullet a week ago succumbed to his wounds Sunday morning, his father said.
Abd al-Majid Sunuqrut told Ma'an that his son Muhammad Abd Al-Majid Sunuqrut, 16, "died as a martyr this morning and his body is expected to be taken to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for an autopsy to be undertaken by a Palestinian doctor and a lawyer."
Muhammad was shot on Monday by Israeli forces in the head as he was talking on the phone in Wadi al-Joz in what his father at the time told Ma'an was an "unprovoked attack."
The youth suffered a fractured skull as a result of the attack and at the time underwent surgery at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem in order to stop bleeding and remove fragments caused by the impact of the bullet.
His father said the youth was preparing for the new school year when he was shot.
Israeli forces have stepped up repression of dissent among Palestinians in Jerusalem over summer, with Addameer prisoner rights group saying in late August that more than 770 Palestinians in the previous two months.
In parallel with the arrest campaign, forces have conducted nightly raids across the city which have led to often violent clashes and protests.
Although Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem live within territory Israel has unilaterally annexed, they lack citizenship rights and are instead classified only as "residents" whose permits can be revoked.

Although Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem live within territory Israel has unilaterally annexed, they lack citizenship rights and are instead classified only as "residents" whose permits can be revoked.
The Ahrar center for prisoners' studies and human rights said Israel had killed and assassinated 50 Palestinian citizens in the occupied lands during the last nine-month peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA). Director of the center Fouad Al-Khafsh said that the Israeli killing machine becomes more brutal during the time of peace negotiations, stressing that regardless of peacetime or wartime, Israel always finds ways to shed Palestinian blood.
Khafsh added that during the months of peace negotiations between the PA and Israel from August 2013 to March 2014, the latter killed 50 Palestinians in different areas of the occupied territories.
Despite that number of victims, the PA did not withdraw from the negotiations or make diplomatic moves to rally an international position against such Israeli crimes, the director of the center said.
Such Palestinian passivity encouraged Israel to persist in the killing of the Palestinians and to wage another genocidal war on the population in Gaza, he added.

Khalil Muhammad Ahmad al-Anati 12
A 12-year old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli soldiers while playing in front of his home in al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron in the southern West Bank early Sunday, medics told Ma'an.
Palestinian medical sources at Hebron's al-Ahli Hospital told Ma'an that Khalil Muhammad Ahmad al-Anati arrived at the hospital after being shot in the back.
They said that the gunshot entered through the victim's lower abdomen and exited through his groin.
Doctors tried their best to resuscitate the boy and stop severe bleeding, but they announced his death shortly after he arrived in the emergency room.
Locals told Ma'an that shortly before the boy was killed an Israeli military force escorted Israeli engineers into a neighborhood known as Nabat al-Haffara for unknown reasons.
"We don't know what they (the Israelis) were doing," Yussef al-Anati told AFP, crying, his shirt soaked in blood after carrying his nephew to hospital.
"Khalil was playing in front of the house, then we heard gunfire. The kid was screaming and fell down," he said. "He was shot in the back and the bullet exited through his stomach."
