Six Palestinian prisoners rejailed after their release have been on hunger strike for about five days in protest at their detention administratively in Ofer and Negev prisons.
According to Palestinian media sources among the hunger strikers are two brothers from Dura town in al-Khalil called Mahmoud and Kayed al-Fasfous.
The Israeli occupation intelligence kidnaped Mahmoud al-Fasfous aged 29 on August 3 2018 after summoning him for interrogation at the Etzion police station in the north of al-Khalil.
Three weeks later Mahmoud was sent to administrative incarceration for six month before his detention was extended for another six months upon his completion of the first term.
He had been arrested several times by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and spent a total of eight years in their jails.
On the same day August 3 the IOF arrested his 30-year-old brother Kayed following a raid on his home in Dura town and jailed him administratively for six renewable months. Later his detention was extended to four months upon his completion of the first term.
The two brothers are now locked up in isolation cells of Ofer jail.
Four other prisoners from different areas of al-Khalil have also been on hunger strike for about five days in protest at their administrative detention with no trial or indictment.
The prisoners are Ghadanfar Abu Attwan Abdul-Aziz as-Suwaiti Saa’ed al-Nammoura and Wa’el Rab’ie. All of them were ex-detainees in Israeli jails.
