The detained Hamas leader Bajes Nakhleh started an open hunger strike in protest at re-arresting him by Israeli Occupation Forces last Wednesday.
Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee revealed that captive Nakhleh 52 years old from Ramallah began hunger striking since day one of his arrest. He has been held in Etzion detention center.
Prisoner Nakhleh spent 19 years of imprisonment in Israeli jails and served several years under the illegal administrative detention. He was released months ago before being re-arrested.
One of his sons is also held captive in the Israeli Ofer jail under custody the Committee pointed out.
