Israeli Military Returns Body of 58-Year-Old Palestinian Man with Signs of Torture and Abuse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces have returned the body of a
Palestinian man who died less than two hours after the Israeli military
arrested him. Family members and medical workers say there are clear
signs that 58-year-old Ayman Abed was tortured and badly beaten in
Israeli custody after he was detained Monday in the village of Kafr Dan.

Meanwhile, residents of Jenin are reporting shortages of food, water,
power and medicine as Israeli troops lay siege to the city and its
refugee camp. Earlier today, the Israeli army also raided the West Bank
city of Tulkarm, killing a 14-year-old Palestinian boy.
