Israeli repression units violently stormed into Block 3 of the Al-Naqab Prison on Thursday morning and transferred the Palestinian prisoners to an unknown destination.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Information Office said, "A large [Israeli] force from the prison administration's repressive unit was deployed in front of the prison blocks, amid a state of extreme tension."

Meanwhile, Palestine's Ministry of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners held the Israeli occupation entity and its Prison Service "fully responsible for the life and safety of the prisoners of Block 3 in the Al-Naqab Prison," that were transferred after being "subjected to brutal assaults."

The ministry warned that "continuing to tighten the grip on the prisoners will escalate the situation in all prisons, and that the brutal assault on Block 3 in the Al-Naqab Prison is a cowardly act and criminal behavior that the prisoners will not let pass as a normal occurrence."

For its part, the Waed Prisoners' Affairs Association confirmed that "the current raid is the largest in years, and it came two days after extremist [Police Minister] Itamar Ben-Gvir visted the prison, and instructed that additional restrictions be placed on the prisoners."

Similarly, the spokesperson for the Prisoners' Information Office, Hazem Hassanein, stated: "The current brutal suppression, assault, and violation of prisoners' rights taking place in Al-Naqab Prison, especially in Block 3, is a direct result of the recent visit by extremist Ben-Gvir to the prison a few days ago, during which he ordered that the prisoners be clamped down on and their rooms their rooms and blocks be raided."

Hassanein warned of "the repetition of the assault on Al-Naqab Prison that took place in 2019."

He called on all Palestinian authorities to "act to stop the savage aggression in the prison and help the prisoners escape the clutches of the jailers that are preying on them without restraint."

Ben-Gvir earlier announced that he would proceed with his plans to enact a law imposing the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners accused of killing settlers or of attempting to kill them.

Earlier this week, the Information Office confirmed that Palestinians in all prisons refused to be subjected to security inspections in protest and rejection of the arbitrary transfer policy pursued by the occupation's prison administration.
