Al Quds (IP)- The spokesman of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ) said that Tel Aviv has committed “a full-fledged crime, by assassinating Sheikh Khader Adnan in prison for which the Israeli occupation bears full and direct responsibility.”

Iran PressMiddle East: Khader Adnan,44, one of the leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement was born on March 24, 1978, in the city of Arraba, Jenin province, north of the West Bank. He was martyred after 85 days of strike on Tuesday, in the prison of the Israeli regime.

In an interview with IranPress, Dawood Shahab emphasized that the resistance continues with the martyrdom of Sheikh Adnan, and this crime of the occupiers strengthens the determination of Palestinians to continue the path of Sheikh Adnan.

"Sheikh Adnan was a freedom-loving and great man and made historic and brilliant efforts during the Jihad against the Israeli regime," the spokesman of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement noted.

The spokesman also termed loyalty to Sheikh Adnan as the continuation of resistance, steadfastness, and struggle against the Israeli regime. 

Sheikh Khader Adnan martyred in Israeli prison after 86 days of hunger strike

He has been on hunger strike five times in prison of the Israeli regime, the first time in 2004 for 25 days, the second in 2012 for 67 days, the third in 2014 for 54 days, the fourth in 2021 for 25 days, and Finally in 2023 it has been for 86 days

The material court of the Israeli regime had repeatedly opposed the release of Adnan, on bail for his health treatment.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS), with the martyrdom of Khader Adnan, the number of resistance martyrs in the prisons of Israel reached 237 people.

Israel’s widely condemned practice of administrative detention allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.

The US State Department has said in past reports on human rights conditions for Palestinians that administrative detainees are not given the “opportunity to refute allegations or address the evidentiary material presented against them in court.”

Amnesty International has described Israel’s use of administrative detention as a “bankrupt tactic” and has long called on Israel to bring its use to an end.

Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes as a way to protest their illegal administrative detention and to demand an end to this policy, which violates international law.
