Israelis have a BBQ outside Ofer Prison while Palestinians rally in support of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in Israeli jails over the fence.

Members of Israeli far right party Ichud Leumi (National Union) taunted Palestinian detainees who are currently on hunger strike by hosting a barbecue outside Ofer Prison in the West Bank.

The right-wing Israelis set up tables and cooked a variety of meats, serving it for free to passersby.

The Palestinian detainees, led by popular leader Marwan Barghouti, launched their hunger strike on Monday to press demands for better medical services and access to telephones.

Several dozen Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli forces Thursday outside a prison north of Jerusalem where detainees are on the hunger strike. Palestinian prisoners have mounted repeated hunger strikes, but rarely on such a scale.

The strike coincides with Palestinian Prisoners Day, which is annually marked on the 17th of April, a month dedicated to Palestinian prisoners.
