Israel’s Supreme Court suspended Allan’s detention in August when his health deteriorated and he ended his hunger strike.

Israel further issued 128 new administrative detention orders against Palestinians, holding them in jail without charges or a trial.

Clashes broke out between stone throwers and Israeli soldiers as the funerals began, and Palestinian medical sources said Israeli fire wounded 12 Palestinians.

The Palestinian Authority’s committee on detainees, for its part, has accused the Israeli army of arresting children in many cases.
