Khader Adnan, who was the first prisoner to launch a hunger strike, said "from our perspective, the hunger strike will be considered a success in any case, regardless of whether the prisoners' demands are met or if they die in prison."

Adnan, who refused food for more than two months, ended his strike after Israel agreed to release him from administrative detention.

"If they die, the victory will be even greater," he said. "In any case, Israel will be held responsible."

Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad threatened to resume its rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza should one of the prisoners die.
