Tension in Gilboa jail after Israeli forces raid cells

RAMALLAH, (The Palestine Information Centre)A state of tension took place last night between Palestinian prisoners and Israeli jailers in Gilboa prison after special forces raided cells and maltreated detainees.

According to media reports, Israeli forces raided sections 1 and 3 of the jail, fired stun grenades inside some cells and carried out searches.

Meanwhile, Palestinian administrative detainees started on Wednesday a one-day hunger strike in Israeli jails in solidarity with prisoner Kayed Fasfous, who has been on hunger strike for 63 days.

Recently, the Palestinian Captive Movement’s National Committee announced the launch of protest steps in support of hunger striker Fasfous in light of the Israeli refusal to end his administrative detention.
