On April 15, 2018, Israeli occupation forces arrested Al Taweel from his house and placed him to demonstrative detention one week later. Israeli occupation forces raided and searched his house in the Umm Al-Sharayit neighborhood before taking him into custody, residents said at the time.
He went on a hunger strike on July 14, 2019, that continued until Israeli occupation forces promised to end his administrative detention.
