FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Israeli troops attacked Palestinian demonstrators near a military prison in the West Bank on Tuesday.
The incident took place on the same day when about 1,600 Palestinian prisoners began an open-ended hunger strike in the Israeli jails across the occupied territories to protest administrative detention and solitary confinement exercised by the Tel Aviv regime.
According to an April 1, 2012 report published by the non-governmental Palestinian prisoner support and human rights association, Addameer, at least 4,610 “political” Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli jails.
Addameer figures show 322 of the Palestinian prisoners are administrative detainees.
The administrative detention, often implemented by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian population, is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge, allowing regime forces to make detentions without formal charges for up to six months. However, the detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of time.
Thousands of people held demonstrations in towns and cities across the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to express solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners.
