Palestinian Hunger Striker Khader Adnan Dies in Israeli Custody After 87 Days

Khader Adnan, a prominent Palestinian prisoner and leader of the Islamic Jihad group, died in Israeli custody after a nearly three-month hunger strike. His death sparked rocket attacks from Gaza and protests in the West Bank. Adnan's hunger strikes were a form of protest against Israel's mass detention of Palestinians without charge. The number of administrative detainees has risen to over 1,000 in the past year, the highest in two decades. Palestinians and rights groups say the system is widely abused and denies due process.
