GAZA — Thirteen prisoners in
Israeli occupation prisons continue their open hunger strike in protest against their continued
administrative detention.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Society reiterated that the
escalation of strikes comes as the Israeli authorities persist in escalating
the crime of administrative detention, which allows them to
imprison Palestinians without a trial, Shehab News reported.
The number of administrative detainees has exceeded 1200
detainees, the highest percentage in years since the Al-Aqsa uprising. It is
worth noting that the
Israeli authorities issued 1,978 administrative detention
orders since the beginning of this year, the highest of which was in July, and
the total number reached 370.
The society reported that six detainees in "
Rimon" prison joined the hunger strikers last Thursday. They are Hadi Nazzal, Mohammed
Zakarnah, Anas Kumeil, Abdu-Rahman Barraqah, Mohammed Ikhmeis, and Zuhdi Ibeido
– all from Qabatiya, a town in the Jenin Governorate. They have been detained
since May of last year.
The prisoners Saif Hamdan, Saleh Rabayaa, Qusai Khudair, and
Osama Khalil continue their hunger strike for 14 days. The detainees Kaid
al-Fassfous and Sultan Khalouf have been on strike for ten days, and detainee
Osama Dqroq has been on strike for six days.
The strike of the 13
detainees coincides with the steps
taken by administrative detainees in "Ofer" prison and several other
prisons, as well as the continued boycott of military courts by around 60
detainees.
