Hamas and Islamic Jihad warned the Israeli occupation against "testing the patience and resistance of the Palestinian people," emphasizing that the occupation must bear the consequences of this "foolish policy" that may lead to a wide explosion in the region.

This was revealed during a meeting on Thursday between a Hamas delegation led by the deputy head of the Political Bureau Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, who was joined by Zaher Jabarin, the official in charge of the prisoners' file, and a delegation led by the Islamic Jihad movement's Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhala.

The two movements affirmed that the occupation "is not allowed to single out any prisoner or faction inside prisons," including removing all prisoners from isolation.

Hunger strikes of the prisoners were also supported by the movements, as well as their right to "Freedom and ending the unjust policy of administrative detention," which according to the movements aims to undermine the determination of the people's fighters.

Earlier, the Al-Quds Brigades announced a general mobilization among its fighters in response to the Israeli occupation's punitive measures against prisoners.

This was preceded by the movement’s announcement that about 150 of its prisoners started an open hunger strike, a step marking the start of a gradual escalation in their battle against the occupation prison authority.
