Dozens of Palestinians injured in clashes with Israeli regime forces

Dozens of people have sustained injuries when clashes broke out between Palestinians  and Israeli military forces across the occupied West Bank.

The protesters were demonstrating in solidarity with prisoners on an open-ended hunger strike in Israeli jails. 

Since April 17, over 1,500 Palestinian prisoners have gone on a mass hunger strike in protest at the conditions of Israeli prisons.  

Palestinian inmates regularly stage hunger strikes in protest at the administrative detention policy and their harsh prison conditions.  

Palestinian leaders have strongly censured Israel's refusal to negotiate with the hunger strikers, warning of a "new intifada" if any of them dies.

Israeli prisons hold some 7,000 Palestinians, including 300 minors. Some of the inmates are held under Tel Aviv’s policy of administrative detention, which enables confinement without charge.
