(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A Palestinian prisoner's mother from Gaza died on Monday on the way to an Israeli jail to visit her son for the first time since his arrest.

Waed Society for Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees stated that "Aisha Aslih, 75, a resident of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, was on her way to visit her detained son Yahya Aslih, arrested 5 years ago and sentenced to 12 years, when she died."

Waed pointed out that prisoner Aslih and other prisoners from Gaza in the Israeli jails had been deprived of visits for six years.

It is noted that the Israeli occupation authorities agreed on the resumption of visits from Gaza after the mass hunger strike launched by the prisoners in April which lasted 28 days.
