Mohammad Said al-Azza had shared a cell with Raed, and said that the two were being transferred at the time of Raed's death. The guards had taken the two men, along with a third prisoner, to a transport vehicle, and moved them to Eshel prison. 

While Mohammad remained in the vehicle, the other two prisoners were taken inside the facility. Less than 15 minutes later, according to Mohammad al-Azza, the Israeli guards came back to the vehicle and told him that Raed was dead.

Al-Azza said that he began shouting in protest, and was pushed and kicked by the guards in the vehicle, and driven to the Israeli prison facility in Ashkelon...

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued a statement upon the death of Raed al-Ja'bari, calling for “immediate united action of the prisoners’ movement, through the prisoners’ national leadership struggling for the rights of the prisoners and the entire Palestinian people, and defying any attempts to divide the movement, which provides the enemy with opportunities to continue its policies against Palestinian land and people, including the prisoners.”
