As the results of the forensic examination of martyr Omar Asad, 80, came out, it is now clear that the Palestinian martyr die due to a heart attack caused by torture by Israeli occupation forces. 

Israeli occupation forces killed the Palestinian citizen few weeks ago and announced that he had not suffered any torture. 

The forensic examination’s results refute the Israeli occupation’s claims about the death of the elderly man, as the emerging evidence showed that the Israeli occupation forces tortured and beat him to death. This incident is a new crime added to the Israeli occupation’s criminal record.

Therefore, we condemn this heinous crime perpetrated by the Israeli occupation, that bears responsibility for torturing the elderly Palestinian citizen to death.  

We also call on all human rights and UN organizations to express their commendation of the horrendous action and hold the Israeli occupation’s leaders accountable for it, based on the findings stated in the medical report. 

Additionally, the international community should voice support for Palestinian victims and prevent any similar crimes by the Israeli occupation in the future.
