Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Israel have announced they are launching a hunger strike.

36 Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Israel’s Rimon Prison have launched a hunger strike due to a new policy; the blocking of cellular telephone signals.

The Israel Prison Authority (IPA) moved the hunger strikers to solitary cells and they are only given a bed and blanket, deciding to remove all their privileges until they abandon the hunger strike.

IPA officials add that the devices used to block the cell signals comply with regulation released by the Ministry of Environmental Affairs.
