Lawyers for hunger-striking Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh say he will press ahead with his 168-day fast until he is granted a full release even after the Israeli regime was forced to temporarily freeze his detention.

The supreme command council for the captives of Hamas voices concern over the heath of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails who have gone on hunger strike.
