Israel’s prison service says a Palestinian prisoner has died after a hunger strike of nearly three months.
Dawood Shahab, an Islamic Jihad spokesman, called Adnan's death “a full-fledged crime, for which the Israeli occupation bears full and direct responsibility.”
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, which represents former and current prisoners, Adnan was arrested 12 times and spent about eight years in Israeli prisons, most of that time under so-called administrative detention, in which suspects are held indefinitely without charge or trial. That figure has grown in the past year as Israel has carried out almost nightly arrest raids in the occupied West Bank in the wake of a string of deadly Palestinian attacks in Israel in early 2022.
Adnan's lawyer and an Israeli rights group said Adnan's condition had been deteriorating and they had asked Israeli authorities to hospitalize him, where his medical condition could best be monitored. Physicians for Human Rights Israel, the rights group said that a doctor who had visited him several days ago had written a medical opinion outlining the immediate risk to his life, but that those entreaties were ignored.
Palestinian groups called for a general strike in the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem and in cities across the West Bank on Tuesday, with schools and business closing for what organizers called a day of “general mourning."

Palestinian prisoner dies in Israel after long hunger strikeIsrael's prison service says a Palestinian prisoner has died after a hunger strike of nearly three months. Khader Adnan began his strike shortly after being arrested on Feb. 5. Adnan, accused by Israel of membership in the Islamic Jihad militant group, had gone on hunger strikes several times after previous arrests. That included a 55-day strike in 2015 to protest his arrest under so-called administrative detention, in which suspects are held indefinitely without charge or trial. Israel’s prison service said Adnan had been charged this time with “involvement in terrorist activities” but had refused medical treatment while legal proceedings moved forward.
