Jarrar, who is the wife of a Hamas leader in the West Bank, was transferred to the Afula Hospital, and thereafter placed under administrative detention for four months. She was released on May 30 but continued to suffer from her injuries.

‘Systematic Medical Crimes’

“The martyr Jarrar carried a rich national, religious, and social record throughout her life, which she spent in effort, struggle, sacrifice, and giving, alongside her husband, the leader and prisoner Abdul Jabbar Jarrar,” Hamas said in a statement. “Today, she concludes her honorable path with martyrdom after a slow killing operation executed against her since the moment of her arrest.”
