Seven Palestinian prisoners are continuing their open-ended hunger strike inside the Israeli Occupation prisons, in refusal of their administrative detention.

The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority said in a statement Sunday that the prisoners on hunger strike are Kayed al-Fasfous, Miqdad al-Qawasmeh, Alaa al-Araj, Hisham Abu Hawash, Shadi Abu Aker, Ayyad al-Harimy and the last to join them was the captive Raafat Abu Rabei.

The authority warned of the serious health conditions of the prisoners, especially Fasfous and Qawasmeh, who have been on hunger strike for more than three months.

The authority indicated that the Israeli Occupation doctors in the Kaplan Hospital tried to forcibly feed the 24-year-old prisoner, Qawasmeh, with fluids and supplements, in an attempt to break his hunger strike.
