The Israeli occupation forces released Palestinian hunger striker on Monday midnight after they briefly rearrested him in East Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
The Palestinian liaison office moved Adnan from an Israeli detention center to Beitunia west of Ramallah at around 1 a.m., and he was then taken by car to his home village of Arraba in southern Jenin, Ma’an news agency reported.
Adnan was detained on Monday as he was heading to al-Aqsa Mosque to take part in Al-Qadr night prayers. Occupation authorities said they arrested him for questioning because he did not have “a permit” to get in the holy city.
On Sunday, Adnan, 37, was released from an Israeli prison after staging a 56-day hunger strike in protest at being held without trial under so-called administrative detention, a method in which Palestinian prisoners are not tried.
Israel arrested Adnan, a known Islamic Jihad figure in the West Bank, last July for the 10th time.
