Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas held Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the death of Abdo Al-Tamimi, who died in Al-Maskobiya center after being severely beaten by the occupation police while in custody.

Hamas spokesman for the city of Jerusalem, Muhammad Hamadeh, said in a press statement that this is evidence of the brutal occupation approach that targets everything with the aim of emptying Jerusalem of its people.

Forty-three-year-old Tamimi, from Shufa’at refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem, was detained last Sunday over a traffic violation.

The Tamimi family said Israeli police contacted them last night and informed them that Abdo died of a heart attack inside his cell at al-Maskubiyya, an interrogation center known for its brutal use of torture.

Tamimi has four children and his wife is pregnant.
