Khader Adnan dies in Zionist enemy detention after 86-day hunger strike

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, May 02 (YPA) – Sheikh Khader Adnan, a senior member of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank, passed away on Tuesday after an 86-day hunger strike.

The Israeli enemy said that Adnan was found unconscious in his cell at the Nitzan detention facility and that he was declared dead at Assaf Harofeh Hospital.

Adnan, 45, was detained by the Zionist enemy in February and charged with terror-related offenses. He had been arrested several times in the past and launched hunger strikes to protest his detention, according to Zionist enemy media .

“Khader Adnan has been executed in cold blood,” the WAED Prisoners Association in Gaza said in response.

Islamic Jihad called for a general strike in Gaza and the West Bank to protest Adnan’s death.
