A state of tension prevailed overnight in Giloba prison after Israeli special units stormed the prisoners’ cells.
Palestinian rights sources affirmed that the Israeli forces carried out a violent search campaign late Wednesday night in total provocation to the prisoners.
Israeli authorities have imposed punitive measures against Palestinian detainees after six inmates tunneled out of the high-security Gilboa prison.
The punitive measures were not only limited to Gilboa prison but affected all the prisons.
Other punitive measures include denying detainees the right to meet their families and lawyers reducing the period of daily breaks to one hour and closing the prisoners’ store from which they purchase their own needs.
There are around 4850 Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons including 41 women 225 children and 540 administrative detainees according to observers.
