Tal Yanon Dardik, an administrative detainee, has been on hunger strike for 17 days, as reported by Channel 14 on Wednesday evening. Dardik was detained without trial under an administrative detention order and began his strike on July 7, according to prior reports tracked by The Zioneer.
On July 16, Dardik fainted in his cell, and earlier, on July 12, dozens gathered at the Russian Compound in Jerusalem in support. Public figures including commentator Gadi Taub and Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin have called for his release, warning of strategic harm. The hunger strike continues amid a broader debate over the use of administrative detention orders against settlers in Judea and Samaria.
