Qaraqe stated 120-140 detainees declared hunger strike and returned their meals as part of further steps, in support of hunger striking detainees and in retaliation to the death of detainee Arafat Jaradat who was tortured to death.
Alsoo, it is reported that on Sunday at night, the army broke into Section 11 of the Negev Detention Camp, and attacked several detainees. Israeli sources reported that an Israeli officer was injured in the eye after being punched by a detainee when the army broke into Section 6 of the Negev Camp.
"Reports coming out of different detention camps and prisons indicate increasing tension due to escalating Israeli violations against the detainees, including forcing dozens of detainees into solitary confinement, and repeatedly breaking into and searching their rooms.
The Ahrar Center for Detainees Studies and Human Rights reported that the army carried out more than 15 attacks against the detainees in February, and that most of the attacks targeted Palestinian detainees held in Majiddo and the Negev prisons."
