"Paleostinian Islamic Jihad will not leave its members in Zionist prisons to be victims at the hands of the enemy. Accordingly, we will stand with them and support them with everything we have, even if this means we must go to war for their sake," says al-Nakhaleh.

Normally, the prisoners themselves would send a letter to the prison administration announcing their intention to commence such a strike. The dramatic flight of the Paleostinian runaways captivated Paleostinians, although Israeli forces caught all six and returned them to prison two weeks later. They were subsequently charged with escaping prison, which carries a maximum additional sentence of seven years under Israeli law. |
