Adnan’s Lone Strike Exposed the Difficulties of Collective Palestinian Struggle

(May 4, 2023)

But this time around, Adnan wasn’t put in administrative detention. It seems the Israeli military apparatus had learned a lesson: It was unwilling to relinquish its ability to repeatedly deny his freedom, separate him from his family and upset their life. But this time, the military apparatus indicted him, not for terrorism or the use or possession of a weapon, but for membership in an illegal organization and incitement. Had he pleaded guilty, he’d probably have been sentenced to a year or a bit more in prison.

But Adnan decided to challenge the facade of normalcy of the Israeli military legal system. This is a system that has unlimited power to deny the freedom of thousands of Palestinians to speak, express an opinion, participate in a meeting, welcome a released prisoner, receive a phone call or accept a donation for education or medical treatment for the children of prisoners or killed activists.

Otzma Yehudit says it’s ending boycott of government after launch of Gaza operation

The party added that it hoped the new aggressive approach “will be maintained for the long term.”

The operation was launched early Tuesday morning when the IDF assassinated three senior members of the Islamic Jihad terror group, killing at least 13 people. The bombings came days after Gazan terrorists led by Islamic Jihad fired 104 rockets at Israel in response to the death of an alleged senior member of the group who had been on hunger strike in Israeli prison.

Palestinian Hunger Striker’s Death Could Lead to New Wave of Attacks in Israel

dnan was well known in the West Bank because of his activities with Islamic Jihad, his many stretches in prison and his long hunger strikes. In 2012, he almost died during a hunger strike in protest of an extended period of imprisonment without charges. He was released from prison at the last moment, and managed to partially recover.

This time, he went back on a hunger strike in February after being imprisoned again. The Shin Bet said that over the years Adnan used his civil political activities as a cover for his support for the terrorist activities of his organization. He denied these claims and described himself as a political person who was battling the Israeli occupation.
