Israel has released a Palestinian Islamic leader following a deal that saw him end a 56 day hunger strike, reports Reuters.
Khader Adnan’s hunger strike had sparked fears that his death could unravel the truce between Gaza and Israel leading to further violence.
Mr Adnan, was hospitalised after his release on Sunday as is said to be in a critical condition after refusing food since May 4.
Israel arrested Mr Adnan for the 10th time last July, and detained him without trial under a policy called administrative detention.
Mr Adnan is known to be a part of the Islamic Jihad group in the West Bank.
