Hamas prisoners declare hunger strike after talks with authorities collapse
Representatives of Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails announce an open-ended hunger strike, after negotiations between them and the Israel Prisoners Service (IPS) regarding their jail conditions fall apart.
The convicted terrorists are demanding several improvements in their jail conditions, including that Israeli authorities stop jamming cellular reception in prisons.
The IPS says is it waiting to see whether prisoners actually refuse to eat their meals tonight.
