Striking Palestinian prisoners, Anas Shadid and Ahmad Abu Fara, ended their hunger strike on Thursday, 22 December after 90 days without food after reaching an agreement. Under the agreement, Shadid and Abu Fara, who have been imprisoned without charge or trial since August 2016, will be released in May 2017 after one four-month extension each of their administrative detention orders. Shadid, 19, from the town of Dura, and Abu Fara, 29, from the town of Surif, both near al-Khalil, launched their hunger strikes on 25 September after nearly two months in Israeli prison without charge or trial.
