Its latest March 1 one said dozens of Israeli security forces "attempt(ed to storm) the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem while Palestinian worshippers were inside" praying.
Systematic terror attacks occur regularly. They include bombing and shelling Gaza, killing civilians, middle-of-the-night neighborhood incursions, attacking peaceful protesters, and daily arrests.
Thousands of political prisoners reflect them. Many resist heroically. Hunger striking is their weapon of choice. Khader Adnan preferred death to unjust detention. Hana Shalabi joined his struggle for justice.
On March 4, the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association twittered: "Hana Shalabi enters day 18 of hunger strike as military judge prepares meeting to decide on confirming her administration detention."
On March 2, she expressed determination to refuse food to highlight Israeli injustice against all Palestinian prisoners, especially those held uncharged under administrative detention.
