Al Mayadeen's private sources reported that the Israeli occupation authorities are relocating Palestinian detainee Mahmoud al-Ardah from an isolation cell at "Rimonim" Prison to another one at "Ayalon" Prison.
The occupation's court renewed the solitary confinement of al-Ardah for another 6 months, as per the sources, who also disclosed that since October 7 last year, Israeli authorities have been denying access to lawyers seeking to visit al-Ardah.
On September 6, 2021, al-Ardah was one of six detainees who broke out of Gilboa Prison in an operation that shook the Israeli occupation's trust in its security system to the core.
The Freedom Tunnel prisoners are Mohammed al-Ardah, Zakaria al-Zubaidi, Yaqoub Qadri, Mohammed Qasim al-Ardah, Ayham Kamamji, and Munadel Nafi'at.
