The Muhjat al-Quds Foundation for the Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded confirmed on Wednesday that prisoner Sheikh Khader Adnan, a leader in the Islamic Jihad Movement, is still continuing his open hunger strike for the 25th day in a row, rejecting his arbitrary detention.

In response to his hunger strike, Adnan was sent last Tuesday to a new internal trial in the Al-Jalama detention center.

He pointed out that two days ago, a criminal detainee started a fire in a cell next to him, which fogged up his cell with smoke. Prison guards took him to the detainee's clinic to be examined after suffering from suffocation, but he refused the medical examination, explaining that he always refuses the clinic's examinations and supplies.

Sheikh Adnan explained in his letter that the warden of Al-Jalama prison came to his cell today and told him that this time he "is a cause, and not just fighting for a cause." Adnan retorted by saying that this time, he is being given an opportunity to "break the cause, not just the administrative decision."

Adnan addressed the people of the town of Huwara and the city of Nablus, saying that "what happened in Huwara confirms the nature we face. All of them are murderers," calling on the Palestinian people to rally around the people of Huwara and Nablus and not leave them prey to compromises.

He also thanked the media saying: "Many thanks to all media outlets, especially the resistance channels, my brothers in Al Mayadeen, Palestine today, Al-Aqsa, Al-Quds today, Quds Network and all the free media, for supporting and standing with me and my family during my hunger strike."

Israeli occupation forces launched on February 5th a massive campaign of raids and incursions in the occupied West Bank, during which they arrested a number of Palestinians, including leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the occupation forces arrested a number of Palestinians, including a leader of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Khader Adnan, after storming his house in the town of Arraba.

Adnan is considered the leader of the Battle of the Empty Stomachs against the policy of administrative detention in occupation prisons. The occupation released him on November 13, 2018, and on October 29, 2018, he stopped his hunger strike after 58 days, and his family considered this a "third victory for him." 

Adnan launched a fourth hunger strike after his 2021 arrest; He was liberated 25 days into his hunger strike, winning his fourth victory against the occupation.
