The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said that Israeli forces on Monday morning violently stormed sections 19 and 20 of the Ofer jail and wreaked widespread havoc inside prisoners’ rooms.
According to PPS the forces raided a section where children under age 18 are held subdued and handcuffed some of them and transferred them to cells for a while before taking them back to their section.
The forces also transferred about 20 prisoners from section 20 to small cells in the same jail and many others to different jails including Gilboa prison and jails in the south.
Consequently the other Ofer prisoners decided to go on hunger strike and close all sections until the jail administration and the Israeli prison service end their repressive measures and respond to their demands.
