Unlike the previous security detainee who became the Islamic Jihad's campaigner, Hisham Abu Hawash does not appear on the terrorist organization's lists on the official website as one of his prisoners.
Nonetheless, this time too, the military wing of al-Quds Brigades has launched a threat to escalate the situation on the ground if it is not released.
This was also joined by Secretary-General Ziad Nahala, who set a new standard for the threat, when he said that Abu Hashwash's death would be considered in their eyes as an assassination for everything.
In fact, one can already discern the method of Islamic Jihad to burn the territory through prisoners identified with it and go on hunger strike.
The former security detainee, Maher al-Akhars, was finally released with the consent of Israel after starving for 103 days.
Even then, Islamic Jihad threatened escalation in Gaza if al-Akhars died.
And here, the detainee was released and returned to hang out with Sheikh Khader Adnan, one of the senior members of the Islamic Jihad in Judea and Samaria.
The two visited the mourning tent of the terrorist who murdered the late Eliyahu Kay just a few weeks ago.
Secretary of Islamic Jihad Nahala,
Sheikh Adnan himself also managed to be released from administrative detention after he went on a hunger strike, when he was content with 55 days.
Each time, the terrorist organization took advantage of the detainees' hunger strike to promote an incitement campaign against Israel and to stir up the situation on the ground.
Even in the case of Abu Wahhash, there were enough innocent elements who were captured in the propaganda of the Islamic Jihad and presented the detainee as one who is being harassed by Israel.
The reality is different of course.
In early December, the High Court rejected Abu Wahash's petition for release or a freeze on his detention due to his medical condition. So, his condition was not life-threatening.
It was further emphasized that against the background of confidential intelligence information in his case, Abu Hashwash was arrested on October 29, 2020 and questioned by the police on suspicion of membership and activity in a hostile organization, harming the security of the area and planning to carry out military activity.
However, Abu Hashwash denied what was attributed to him.
In light of the confidential information in his case and in the absence of the possibility of prosecuting him criminally, it was decided to extend his administrative detention from time to time, until April 26, 2022.

For the Palestinians, all this does not matter in light of the consensus on the issue of security prisoners.
And with the help of this issue, Islamic Jihad is succeeding in attracting terrorist organizations, factions and the Palestinian Authority to a military and diplomatic confrontation against Israel.
Even today, despite the meeting with Ganz this week, Minister Hussein a-Sheikh of the PA called for the immediate release of Abu Wahash.
Hamas, which fears the recent criticism of Islamic Jihad against it - for example, in an interview with the secretary general in which it opposed the issuance of permits for Gazans to work in Israel - chose to align itself with it. Of terrorist organizations in Gaza this week.
Yoni Ben Menachem, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public and State Affairs, recently explained that "the two terrorist organizations have managed to create a very comfortable situation for them. On the one hand, they maintain calm in the Gaza Strip, do not break their promises to Egypt "Terrorism in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank, which allows them to present themselves as 'resistance' organizations that do not submit to Israeli dictates."
However, despite the explanations of the terrorist organizations this morning that the launching of the rockets into the sea was due to the weather conditions, Islamic Jihad seems to have another interest in escalation, which is not related to concern for the safety of the prisoners.
In recent weeks, Syria has claimed that Israel has attacked destinations in the port of Latakia.
Various Arab reports indicate that the Iranians are attempting to transfer advanced weapons to Hezbollah.
The IDF confirmed that launches from Gaza off the coast of Israel were identified
Security tensions in the Gaza Strip or a military operation may divert the attention of the Israeli defense establishment from the war between the wars in the north and the bubbling swamp of the Gaza Strip.
In this sense, the security detainee serves as a particularly convenient ticking bomb, and especially a successful mask to the foreign interests of Islamic Jihad.
In this way, it is possible to justify the attempt to set fire to the area, and on the way become a factor that really manages Hamas' moves.
It so happens that instead of reaching a long-term calm with Israel and rehabilitating the Gaza Strip, Hamas officials were quick to say today that "all possibilities are open."
It seems that most of all, Hamas' drag can teach about the nature of a future hudna with it and its ability to meet its commitments.
Ability, which hardly exists at all.
