Three Palestinian prisoners have continued their open-ended hunger strike in protest against their administrative detention according to which they are held without charge or trial.
The striking prisoners include the brothers Ahmad Mousa and Addal Mousa who have been continuing their hunger strike for the 33rd day.

Ahmed who suffers now from health issues in his heart and kidneys was transferred to Kaplan Hospital in 1948 occupied Palestine where he underwent medical tests before he was taken back to the Ramla prison infirmary.
The brothers were kidnaped by the Israeli occupation forces on August 7 2022 and soon later an Israeli military court approved the administrative detention of Ahmed for four months and Idhal for three months.
For his part the Palestinian prisoner Jawad Jawarish continued his open-ended hunger strike for the 7th day in protest at depriving him of meeting his two detained brothers for more than 20 years.
