Sources of Hamas movement reported that Palestinian Security forces in the West Bank have transferred one Hamas prisoner to an Israeli hospital inside the Green Line. This transfer was done because the prisoner's health has deteriorated due to torture he received.

The same sources stated that Hamas activist Mo'ayad Bani Odeh, 22, now faces dangerous health problems, and that his health was fine before he was jailed.

Hamas sources indicated that the youth Bani Odeh was abducted 10 days ago, imprisoned in one of the Jenin city detention centers, and was released 3 days ago.

The same Hamas sources said that the Palestinian force called Bani Odeh again in his house located near Tubas village. They wanted him to return to Al Junied detention center in Nablus city to deal with an urgent issue.

But Palestinian security forces put him under violent interrogation, causing the deterioration of his health condition. No clarifications were released by the official Palestinian side concerning the cause.
