In light of Israeli arbitrariness, Palestinian prisoners decide to escalate their actions until demands are met.

The prisoner’s media office announced that Palestinian prisoners dissolved regulatory bodies, an escalatory step that will continue until their demands are met. 

Qadura Fares, head of the Palestinian Prisoners Club, said Palestinian prisoners “implemented their threat and dissolved regulatory bodies in all prisons as of this morning (Sunday)”.

He went on to say, “this means that the Israeli occupation’s administration must address each prisoner separately, and this is a very disturbing step for the occupation.”

“This will likely lead to an open hunger strike if their demands are not met,” he stressed.

The Palestinian prisoners demand ending the practice of solitary confinement against dozens of Palestinian prisoners, including the six Palestinian Prisoners who broke out of Gilboa Prison a year ago.

They have been also demanding the installation of public phones in prison to communicate with their families, especially for women and child prisoners as well as the ability to purchase basic hygiene supplies, and other necessities of incarcerated life.

The Israeli occupation currently has about 4,550 Palestinians incarcerated, including 31 female prisoners, 175 minors, and more than 700 administrative detainees - the highest number since 2008.

Khalil Awawdeh fights occupation with his empty stomach

Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh is still isolated in the intensive care unit in the "Asaf Harofeh" hospital.

"Prisoner Awawdeh's health condition is getting worse day by day," commission spokesperson Hassan Abed Rabbo has lately said. "He has lost more than half of his body weight, and he feels incredibly weak. His vision is impaired so much so that he could not recognize his wife Dalal Awawdeh as she was visiting him at the Asaf Harofeh hospital."

The freedom of Awawdeh was one of the clauses of the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire between Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Israeli occupation, which took place three weeks earler after several days of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, killing dozens of Palestinian civilians and wounding hundreds of others.

The head of the political department in the Islamic Jihad Movement, Muhammad Al-Hindi, said on August 7 that "a formula for the Egyptian declaration of the truce agreement has been reached, and it includes Egypt's commitment to work for the release of the two prisoners, Khalil Awawdeh and Bassam Al-Saadi."

Al-Saadi detention extended

The Israeli occupation has also decided to extend the detention of Palestinian Islamic Jihad official Bassam Al-Saadi until next Sunday for "judicial procedures", the prisoners' media office said.

The Israeli occupation raised a list of charges against Al-Saadi on Thursday, on accusations of belonging to the group, serving it, and inciting resistance and support for it, the media office said.

The Prisoners' Information Office indicated that "the (Israeli) Metsada repression units surround the prison blocks amid heightened tensions in all of the prisons."

Israeli General Security Service Shin Bet finished interrogating Al-Saadi, and the "Ofer" military court decided to extend his detention following a hearing on his case.

The occupation had extended Al-Saadi’s detention more than once, as it extended his detention on August 16 for a period of 6 days under the pretext of questioning him after a previous extension on August 11.

The PIJ commander said he was arbitrarily arrested in his first public appearance since his detention.

Special units of the Israeli occupation stormed the house of Al-Saadi and arrested him and his brother-in-law Ashraf Al-Jada in his home in Jenin Camp after assaulting them and taking them to an unknown destination.

Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin reported that Al-Saadi's wife was rushed to the emergency after the occupation soldiers beat her while arresting her husband.

The Palestinian Resistance factions warned the occupation against harming Al-Saadi, declaring alertness and readiness of combat units.

Ben Gvir threatens prisoners' families

The prisoner's media office said right-wing extremist Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir threatened the family of Palestinian prisoner Murad Al-Rajabi and the families of other prisoners via phone calls.

"The abuse of prisoners' families and threatening them via phone call by Knesset member Ben Gvir is an unprecedented violation that reflects the grudge Zionists have against prisoners," Waed Association reported.

"This threat comes as part of the electoral campaign of this figure, who is known for his extremism and sadism to realize political gains," the Association noted.
