The Palestinian captive movement has realized a new victory through its hunger strike, as it was able to have its demands fulfilled after strenuous negotiations with the Israeli occupation prison administration, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported Wednesday.
"The open hunger strike was suspended, and the situation is returning back to normal in Israeli prisons, as it was before the measures taken by Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir," our correspondent added.
The Israeli occupation government responded to all of the prisoners' demands without undergoing a hunger strike, and the prisoners had all of their demands fulfilled, the captive movement underlined.
The Prisoners' Information Office stated that the prison administration will receive the names of 2,000 prisoners who would go on an open hunger strike that was anticipated to commence in conjunction with the start of Ramadan amid calls for support for and solidarity with the prisoners in their battle against the occupation's prison administration.
The office stated that "the prisoners' leadership will hand over the names to the Occupation's Prison Service Department, tomorrow, Thursday, at 9:30 am."
"The sick prisoners in the occupation prisons have decided to join the ranks of the hunger strikers in the coming days," the information office added.
It was reported earlier in the day that the occupation forces isolated the Emergency Committee leaders who said they were going on strike, confirming that the hunger-striking prisoner Ammar Mardi, a representative of the Fatah movement, and the hunger-striking prisoner, Salama Al-Qatawi, a representative of the Hamas movement, were arbitrarily transferred to an unknown location.
It was also reported that the occupation transferred the dean of the prisoners, Muhammad Al-Tus, who began his strike with the captive movement leaders, to an "unknown destination," noting that "the campaign of arbitrary transfers that affected the strike leaders is a desperate step and will not disturb the strike program."

Lions' Den ready for battle
In support of the prisoners, the Lions' Den group announced its full readiness to engage in larger battles with the Israeli occupation.
The group affirmed that the decision was taken to expand the confrontation in support of the prisoners, stressing the resistance's persistence at all costs to destabilize the occupation.
In this context, the Popular Front stressed the need for mobilization in support of the Captive Movement, while considering the days of Ramadan as days for escalation and all forms of struggle in support of the prisoners and Al-Quds.
