Khadr Adnane, a Palestinian captive who went on an 87-day hunger strike in protest of his imprisonment, was declared dead. His death was confirmed by the Israeli authorities this morning, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.

The Islamic Jihad group, of which Khadr was a member, is preparing a response , similarly to the Palestinian forces in the West Bank that called for a strike to mourn Adnane Khadr’s death.

The prisoner was discovered dead in his cell at the Netsan jail according to a statement by the Israeli authorities. Additionally, Israeli authorities reported that Khadr was brought to a hospital where all attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society is seeking to have his body returned so that it may be properly buried and mourned.

Adnan had staged at least three hunger strikes since 2011 in protest against Israeli detentions without charges. Khadr had been imprisoned in prison under administrative incarceration 12 times.
