Senior Hamas official Sheikh Jamal at-Taweel has entered day 17 of his open-ended hunger strike which he staged to demand Israeli jailers to release him and his daughter Bushra from administrative detention.
Sheikh Taweel was kidnaped on June 2 2021 from his home in Bireh City by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) before he was transferred to the Ofer jail and later to the Hasharon jail.
Recently the Ofer jail’s military court ordered his administrative detention for six months.
As for Bushra who works as a journalist she was kidnaped by the IOF at a military checkpoint in the West Bank on November 9 2020 before a military court issued an administrative prison order for four months against her.
However before the four months completed another extension to the previous administrative detention order was issued against her on March 7 2021.
Meanwhile other two prisoners have been on hunger strike for several days in protest at their detention administratively.
The detainees are Ghadhanfar Abu Atwan on hunger strike for 46 days and Khader Adnan on hunger strike for 21 days.
