Israeli occupied State of Palestine experienced it's first coronavirus death on Wednesday March 25th, on a same day as the panicking Apartheid regime took an extraordinary step in releasing two political prisoners.
ELDERLY WOMAN DIES IN OCCUPIED WEST BANK
A woman in her 60s died of coronavirus on the early Wednesday evening, less than a day after she was tested positive for the virus. Her health had suddenly worsened during the morning and she was in critical condition before passing away.
The so far unnamed woman was from the village of Biddo near the city of Ramallah on the central part of the Israeli occupied West Bank.
Her 46-year-old son and 41-year-old daughter-in-law have been also both tested positive. They have been transferred to a quarantine center at Turmus Ayya.
These raise the number of confirmed cases in the State of Palestine to 64, 62 of them in the occupied West Bank where the epidemic has concentrated in the city of Beithlehem and nearby town of Beit Jala, and two on the besieged Gaza Strip.
PANICKING ISRAELI REGIME RELEASES ILL POLITICAL PRISONERS
Meanwhile Israeli occupation has released two of the four political prisoners held in quarantine at the notorious Ramle Prison clinic. Ahmed Nassar and Ibrahim Awawda, both from the city of Nablus, have been transferred to a Palestinian hospital in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli occupation had earlier lied that the prisoners were held in quarantine at the Megiddo prison; only now it has been revealed that they had been taken to the prison clinic - which itself has been compared to a slaughterhouse by captive inmates.
This release of political prisoners for health reasons is an extraordinary event, as Israel's regime in the past has refused to release even dying prisoners who have had only a few days to live.
To assume that compassion would have played a role is to be gravely mistaken - behind the release is a fear that prisoners would infect prison staff, who would then spread the virus among Israelis.
Instead it's a sign of panic, which is taking root among Israelis. 2170 positive cases have been confirmed and 5 deaths have taken place in the Apartheid state.
