On November 23, Fasfous ended his hunger strike after an agreement was reached to end his administrative detention in Israel and release him this month. Fasfous was freed at an Israeli checkpoint to the south of Hebron in the West Bank, and was welcomed by Palestinian political and security officials as well as representatives of factions. He has served a total of five years in Israeli prisons without charge or trial, and reportedly lost about 45 kg of weight during his hunger strike. There are 4,600 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, about 500 of whom are serving administrative detention order, without charge or trial. Footage by/APAwire
