Israeli occupation forces rearrested former Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, who was well-known for undertaking two hunger strikes to secure his release from Israeli prisons.

Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported that an occupation military vehicle stopped a private car which Adnan was driving near Silwad village east of Ramallah in West Bank, and took him to an unknown location.Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan

Adnan was released in July last year after he undertook a 55-day hunger strike to protest his administrative detention -- an internment without trial or charge.

His hunger strike, which brought him near death by the time it concluded, was the second he had carried out, following a 66-day long hunger strike in 2012 that also ended in his release.
