The Jenin office of The Nafha Society for Defending Human Rights and the Rights of the Detainees reported that Sheikh Harb is persistent to continue his strike in protest to the Israeli violations.

The Society demanded the release of Justice Harb, and stated that he should at least be transferred to another facility in the meantime.

Sheikh Harb was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers stationed at a military roadblock and was imprisoned and interrogated under inhuman conditions.

The Society reported that the abductions of Sheikh Harb is considered a direct Israeli attack against one of the religious and legal symbols of the Palestinian people, and demanded the Red Cross to interfere in order to release him.
