According to the Israeli media, the decision was made due to concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict with the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad if Mahmoud Alaan, who was on a hunger strike during his administrative arrest, dies, reports newsru.co.il.

On the afternoon of August 20, doctors at the Barzilai hospital reported that Mahmoud Alaan, who had been put into an induced coma the day before, came out of it and agreed to end the hunger strike.

On August 19, the High Court of Justice ordered the temporary release of Mahmoud Alaan from detention. The decision came after Barzilai Hospital provided judges with magnetic resonance imaging scans that showed the hunger strike had caused damage to Mahmoud Alaan's brain, but doctors were at a loss to say whether the damage was irreversible.

At that time, when the lawyer’s petition for release was discussed in court, Mahmoud Alaan’s condition worsened, and he was again plunged by doctors into an artificial coma, from which 20 August was removed in the afternoon. After Mahmoud Alaan came to his senses, he learned that he was free, and also saw him next to him in the House of Relatives.
