Israel says death of Omar Abdalmajeed As'ad, an elderly Palestinian American, in military custody resulted from 'a moral failure and poor decision-making'
The body of Asad was found in Jiljilya in occupied West Bank with a plastic zip-tie still around one wrist, villagers said. The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out an overnight raid in the Palestinian village. But Jiljilya village council head Fouad Qattoum said Asad was returning home after visiting relatives when Israeli soldiers stopped his car, bound him, blindfolded him, and led him away to a building still under construction.
According to vegetable seller Mamdouh Elaboud, he was himself detained for 20 minutes, then released. Islam Abu Zaher, a local doctor who said he had tried to resuscitate Asad but found no pulse, adding there were no obvious signs of injury and the cause of death was unclear. "It is possible that he suffered a heart attack or some form of panic," Abu Zaher said, noting that Asad had previously undergone open-heart surgery and cardiac catheterisation.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh had blamed Israeli forces for the man's death, calling it a "crime".
