On Thursday, prisoner Mohammad Al-Arda, one of the escapees, reportedly suspended his open hunger strike after the Israeli Prison Services responded to his demands.
Meanwhile, seven other Palestinian prisoners have been on hunger strikes for several weeks, protesting against their administrative detention – being held without charge or trial.
