Jawad Boulos, Abu Hawash's attorney, announced that an agreement had been reached to release Abu Hawash on February 26th. 

Tuesday, the military spokesperson for the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Abu Hamza, congratulated prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash on his historic victory in his heroic battle.

Israeli media reported on Tuesday that after threats of escalation from Gaza, "Israel" agreed not to extend its administrative detention of Palestinian prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash in exchange for his ending his hunger strike.

40-year-old Hisham Abu Hawash, from Dura, Al-Khalil, has been on hunger strike for 141 days in protest of his administrative detention as warnings over the deterioration of his health grow.

Abu Hawash has been in prison since October 2020, and the Israeli occupation forces have issued three administrative detention orders against him since his arrest, one of which was issued after the 70th day of his hunger strike.

He is a father to five children, and his total time in prison amounts to eight years, 52 months of which were spent in administrative detention.
