A Palestinian prisoner ended a 113-day hunger strike on Thursday after reaching an agreement with Israel to release him next February, said a statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Media office.
Miqdad al-Qawasmi, 24, has not eaten for months in protest at his detention without charge by Israel in January.
Five other Palestinian prisoners are currently on hunger strike to protest their administrative detention.
Kayed Fasfous, 32, a father of a seven-year-old from Dura, has been on a hunger strike for the past 118 days. He is in hospital following a lengthy hunger strike that affected his health, according to Palestinian sources.
Alaa al-A’araj, 34, a father of a five-year-old from Tulkarm, has been on hunger strike for 93 days. Hisham Abu Hawash, 39, a father of five from Dura, has been on a hunger strike for 84 days. They are both treated alternately in the infirmary at Ramla Prison and in hospital.
Ayad al-Harimi, 28, from Bethlehem, has been on hunger strike for 48 days. He has been transferred from Ofer Prison to the infirmary at Ramla Prison, as the lengthy hunger strike has caused his health to deteriorate.
Luai al-Ashqar, 45, a father of eight from Saida, has been on a hunger strike for 30 days. He is detained in Megiddo Prison.
Palestinians have recently staged protests in support of the prisoners in hunger strikes, amid factional and official requests to release them.
There are some 500 Palestinians held in Israeli jails under administrative detention out of 5,000 Palestinian prisoners, statistics show. Israel has never released the figure.
