APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza - 06 September 2019. Palestinian supporters of Islamic Jihad movement attend Friday prayers in front of Red Cross office, to show solidarity with prisoners on hunger strike, in Israeli jails, in Gaza city.

STORYLINE - Twenty-three Palestinian prisoners initiated a hunger strike in Israeli prisons on Wednesday in protest of cellular jamming devices in jail wards. The devices were installed by the prison service in order to prevent use of smuggled phones, but prisoners claim they emit high radiation and are detrimental to their health.

The striking prisoners, affiliated with Hamas, are refraining from food and have been transferred by Israeli authorities to solitary in Nafha Prison. According to Palestinian reports, senior Hamas prisoners have joined the strike on Thursday.

In addition to removal of cellular jamming devices, prisoners are demanding a halt to video surveillance of female prisoners during their breaks in Damon jail, allowing senior prisoners to teach younger prisoners.
