Iran Press/ Middle East: Khader Adnan on Sunday referred to the Palestinian detainees who have been infected with COVID-19 recently and said that the Zionists have purposely adopted a policy of medical negligence towards the prisoners, and on the other hand, they have removed all the cleaning tools from the cells of the prisons.
