Aseel soldier - occupied Jerusalem

Field activities in solidarity with the hunger strikers were distributed in Ramallah, the Gaza Strip and Abu Dis town, east of occupied Jerusalem.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine had called for the broadest popular participation in the solidarity stand in front of Ofer prison in conjunction with the holding of a trial session of the prisoner Halabiya. At the same time, a prisoners' stand was held in front of the headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner in Gaza.

National and Islamic forces in the town of Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, on Thursday considered a day of outrage and a comprehensive trade strike, and called for an open clash with the occupation to support the town's captive sons Hudhayfah Halabiya and Ismail Ali and their friends on hunger strike.

An activist in the national forces in the town of Abu Dis, who declined to be named, said that the masked men spread since the early morning in the streets of the town to ensure the closure of all shops in solidarity with the prisoners on hunger strike.

He added, "We felt the grave danger to the lives of the striking townspeople, and this necessitated declaring an exhilarating day and confronting and escalating with the occupation so that his intelligence would acquiesce to the prisoners' just demands for freedom."

Strike and confrontations
The activist described the traffic in the town as weak as a result of the commercial strike, pointing to the start of confrontations with the occupation forces at the mountain camp in Abu Dis and confirm the extension until late in the night.

He said, "Two weeks ago did not calm the confrontations in the town, and escalated after the martyrdom of the boy Nassim Abu Roumi, who also hit the town today to demand the release of his body held in the refrigerators of the occupation a week ago."

The leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Omar Shehadeh, who participated in the solidarity stand in front of Ofer prison, said that the prisoners on hunger strike declared their fight to break the administrative detention law as a remnant of British colonialism.

Shehadeh said in an interview with Al Jazeera Net that in order to support them, the Popular Front announced the accession of more than fifty prisoners from its sons to the battle of empty intestine on Thursday.

"We participated in the solidarity pause in conjunction with the trial session of the prisoner Hudhayfah Halabiya, and we chanted slogans reflecting the unity of the people and the national struggle of the Palestinian people, and accompanied our people in Gaza at the same time a solidarity stand in front of the headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner to express their rejection, unity and support to comrade Hudhayfah Halabiya And the rest of the striking prisoners until this brutal criminal law is broken. "

The Israeli occupation forces attacked solidarity with the prisoners in front of Ofer prison and threw sound and gas bombs towards them. They arrested Zaid Sawafta, who is unconscious for inhaling tear gas.

Bankruptcy of the occupier
Commenting on this, Sheikh Khader Adnan, who participated in the pause, said that the Israeli occupation of the young Sawafta and the attack on the solidarity activists in front of Ofer prison, the bankruptcy of a heavily armed occupier in front of unarmed people with the right to freedom, and in front of prisoners who seek their freedom with their empty intestines.

Adnan pointed to the importance of solidarity activities aimed at supporting the prisoners on hunger strike, saying that the information does not reach the prisoner striker only hardly, but once the arrival of information on solidarity stops with him increases his morale and completes his cruel journey calmly and patiently.

Based on his experiences in hunger strike, Sheikh Adnan described the stage reached by the prisoner Hudhayfah Halabiya in his strike phase peak, as "the prisoner Halabiyah approached the end of the second month of the strike, a sensitive and dangerous stage on his body, especially as he suffers from burns in his face and diseases Several, this requires us to move more to support him and the rest of the striking prisoners. "

Strike and chronic diseases
Musaab, the brother of the prisoner, Hudhayfah Halabiya, told Al Jazeera Net his brother's illnesses.

The prisoner suffers from weakness in myocardium, impaired liver function and kidney stones. "We have appealed to human rights institutions and the Palestinian leadership to intervene to release Hudhayfah and we have not received a response from anyone to our pleas so far. Are they waiting for him to be released from prison carrying a coffin, as happened with prisoners before him to act?"

Musab pointed out that the most painful family is to deprive the prisoner of seeing his eldest child, "Majdal", who was born six months ago without seeing her so far.
