In a written statement made by the Prisoners and Released Institution of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the statements were used: “Detainees in Megiddo Prison kidnapped 2 prison police in the 10th ward and tensions prevail in the prison.”
In the statement, it was noted that Israeli forces flocked to the ward and 2 police officers were still in the hands of the detainees.
On the other hand, in a written statement from the Israel Prisons Administration, it was stated that after the attempted attack on the chief guard in the 10th ward of Megiddo Prison, warning sirens sounded during the evening count of the detainees.
In the statement, it was stated that the detainees were intervened with tear gas bombs, and it was emphasized that the situation was under control without any injuries to the prison personnel.
Nearly 800 Palestinian prisoners are held at Megiddo Prison, located near Haifa.
Adnan was on hunger strike for 87 days
Palestinian Hıdır Adnan has been on a hunger strike for 87 days, which he started against Israel’s “administrative detention” in prison without trial.
Palestinian resistance groups announced that 44-year-old Adnan passed away yesterday morning.
While human rights organizations declared that Adnan was “at risk of certain death” if he was not transferred from prison to the hospital due to his deteriorating health condition, Israeli authorities had denied this.
Adnan, who was repeatedly subjected to arbitrary arrests by Israel, went on a hunger strike for 25 days in 2004, 66 days in 2012, 56 days in 2015, 58 days in 2018 and 25 days in 2021.
