Hundreds of Palestinians held by Israel started an indefinite hunger strike, a human rights organisation has said.

Tensions broke out after the Negev prison administration in southern Israel raided the third and fourth sections of the prison and transferred detainees to another area, according to a separate joint statement by human rights organisations.There are around 5,000 Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails, according to Palestinian figures, including at least 1,200 held without charge or trial.
Palestinians jailed by Israel have for years used protests to demand better living conditions and an end to indefinite detentions.
