The number of administrative detainees on hunger strike in Israeli occupation prisons has risen to 13, after six more detainees in "Rimon" prison joined the strike, according to the Prisoners' Club.

The club reported that seven other administrative detainees have been on strike for 13 days. The strike of the 13 detainees comes in conjunction with steps taken by administrative detainees, along with around 60 detainees who continue to boycott the Israeli military courts.

The number of administrative detainees currently exceeds 1200, marking the highest percentage since the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000.
