Israeli prison guards on Thursday evening stormed Palestinian prisoners’ cells in Ashkelon jail and wreaked havoc on them.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society said that confrontations flared up between the Palestinian detainees and Israeli prison guards during the raid.

No injuries were reported but one Palestinian prisoner was transferred to another section as a punishment.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society said that about 50 Palestinian detainees are held at Ashkelon jail and they have been subjected to arbitrary raids and transfers on a regular basis since October 2019.

Thursday’s raid was the second since the start of the new year according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society.

Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission on Monday said that Israeli prison forces in the afternoon raided several prisoners’ cells in Ashkelon jail.

The commission said that the Israeli guards forced dozens of Palestinian detainees out of their rooms and assaulted them.

The raid lasted for a few hours during which the Israeli forces wreaked havoc on the prisoners’ belongings.
