The Israeli occupation froze the administrative detention of prisoner Khalil Awawda, who has been on an open hunger strike for 5 months, while the prisoner's lawyer confirmed his continued strike until his effective release.

Prisoners' institutions stated that the decision to freeze the administrative detention did not mean its cancel, pointing out that the decision to freeze meant the occupation's insistence on the execution of Awawda.

The decision to freeze the administrative detention of Awawda was issued by the commander of the military zone of the Israeli occupation army, who said that Awawda was in an "immediate danger to his life", as his health had deteriorated considerably, stressing that the administrative arrest warrant would be immediately renewed if the prisoner was released from the hospital.
