Two Palestinian detainees affiliated with Hamas have been incarcerated for the 17th year running in Israeli dungeons where they have been serving nine life-sentences.
Jamal Abu al-Heija and Islam Jarrar were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces from Jenin in 2002 over allegations of involvement in anti-occupation operations.
Both Abu al-Heija and Jarrar were later sentenced to nine back-to-back life sentences.
