Khader Adnan died in Israeli custody as he neared his 90th day on a hunger strike protesting his imprisonment. The veteran of eight hunger strikes, Adnan was a symbol of Palestinian steadfastness and resistance.

Khader Adnan’s hunger strike protesting his imprisonment by Israel has surpassed 80 days and his life is in danger. “This time is different, he is feeling the toll that previous hunger strikes have had on him,” says his wife Randa Moussa.

Since entering office, Israel’s new government has dramatically increased the repression of Palestinian prisoners, moves which reflect its hostile agenda toward Palestinians as a whole.

“I am deeply thankful for people who supported me, stood with me, reinforced me, and prayed for me, thank you,” Awawdeh said, after ending his 182-day hunger strike. Awawdeh, who lost more than half his weight during his strike will remain in an Israeli hospital for treatment until his release on October 2. 

On August 9, Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in the West Bank, including notable Palestinian resistance fighter Ibrahim Nabulsi, “the lion of Nablus,” during a daytime military raid. Nabulsi’s killing is also connected to the ongoing struggle of hunger striker Khalil Awawdeh, who continues to be held under administrative detention in Ramleh Prison. All of these incidents are part of the same story — the Israeli campaign to eradicate Palestinian resistance.

Hisham Abu Hawash’s hunger strike will go down in the history of Palestinian resistance as one of the longest and, arguably, most consequential.

Palestinian prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash entered his 140th day on hunger strike on Monday, and according to his family is in such critical condition that he could “die at any moment.”

An Israeli court formally indicted this week the six recaptured Palestinian prisoners, who last month achieved a historic escape from a maximum security Israeli prison last month that shocked the world. On Monday, the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission said that one of the prisoners, Mohammed Ardah, had began a hunger strike in protest of the “punitive measures against him and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement.”

Ghadanfar Abu Atwan has been on a hunger strike for 62 days in protest of his administrative detention by Israel, and recently began refusing water. “His health situation is dire,” Warda Abu Atwan tells Mondoweiss. “We are scared that he could die at any moment.”

Whenever I conduct an interview with a Palestinian prisoner or their family, I am told, repeatedly, that “no one cares. But is this really the case?
