Palestinian terrorist, Nasser Abu Hamid, who among other activities participated in the Ramallah lynching and disembowelment of Israeli soldiers in 2000, died Tuesday in Assaf Harofeh, a renowned Israeli hospital after being diagnosed with Cancer.
Abu Hamid is one of the founders of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and since September Palestinian activists have been calling for his release due to his illness. According to these activists, the cause of his death is Israeli negligence, despite the treatment he received in Israel's hospitals. In December 2002, the terrorist, who was then defined as infamous Marwan Barghouti's right-hand and responsible for the murder of at least seven Israelis, was sentenced to seven cumulative life sentences and an additional 50 years in prison for terrorism.

The Palestinian “Commission for detainees and ex-detainees”, announced the death of the prisoner, and said that it was "a result of the medical killing policy directed by the administration of the occupation prison against sick prisoners." According to their announcement, on Monday afternoon Abu Hamid was urgently evacuated from Ramla prison to Assaf Harofeh, after a serious deterioration in his medical condition. “The occupation deliberately treated him with medical negligence and allowed cancer to eat his body, without considering releasing him due to his severe health condition."

The indictment filed against Abu Hamid in July 2002 states that he is considered "the right-hand man of Marwan Barghouti", and that "the defendant founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs organization." The indictment described that before the Al-Aqsa intifada, Abu Hamid was a member of the leadership of the Fatah youth movement, Shabiba, in Ramallah. As part of his role, he helped organize the protest demonstrations against Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was the excuse used to spark the Second Intifada although evidence after PLO leader Yasser Arafat's death shows that the Intifadah was planned in advance, possibly even at Camp David during President Clinton's efforts to bring peace to the region.
