At approximately 3:20 pm on Sunday 1 April 2012, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) deported administrative detainee Hanaa’ Yihya Ash-Shalabi, 30, to the Gaza Strip, following an agreement under which she will spend three years in the Gaza Strip before returning to her place of residence near Jenin in the West Bank.
  She is being deported to the Gaza Strip in order to bring an end to her hunger strike.
According to the information available to Al Mezan, at approximately 1:30 am on Thursday 16 February 2012, the IOF surrounded Ash-Shalabi’s house, located on Ash-Shuhadaa street in Barqeen village, in the Jenin governorate of the West Bank, and arrested her.
  On the first day of her detention Ash-Shalabi was kept in solitary confinement at the Al Jalama prison in the West Bank.
  On the second day, she was transferred to HaSharon prison in Israel.
  She refused to appear before the Israeli military court there, which sentenced her to administrative detention for a period of six months.
  Her health condition continued to deteriorate throughout her detention, and she was referred to a hospital immediately upon her arrival in Gaza.
It should be noted that the IOF had released Ash-Shalabi from a previous term of administrative detention in the prisoner swap of October 2011, during which the IOF released 1,027 Palestinian prisoners.
  The IOF first arrested Ash-Shalabi on 14 September 2009, and her administrative detention was extended by default procedures until the time of the prisoner swap.
