The Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation has confirmed that the Israeli Prison Service has detained 4 prisoners who partook in the heroic act of aiding the prisoners of the Freedom Tunnel and took them to different prison facilities. 

The detained prisoners are Kosai Rabih Mohamad Merhi and Ali Mohamad Nazmi Abu Bakir who were taken from isolation in "Megiddo prison" to "Ayalon prison"; Iyad Ibrahim Hasan Jradat who was transferred from "Megiddo prison" to "Rimonim prison"; and Mohamad Mahmoud Nazmi Abu Bakir who was transferred from Megiddo prison to isolation in Ramon prison. 

The PIJ has maintained a general alert in all Israeli prisons after the head of the Supreme Leadership Committee of the Islamic Jihad, Zaid Bsaysi, was transferred from "Eshel prison" to "Gilboa prison". The Prisoners' Affairs Committee added days ago that the administration of the Israeli occupation prisons has transferred 70 prisoners from "Ramon" to "Gilboa".

'Part of a Zionist plan'

The Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs in Gaza commented on the uptick in transfers being conducted by the Israeli occupation, saying they were aimed at undermining the stability that Palestinian prisoners have, calling it an attempt to increase the occupation's influence and control over the Palestinian captive movement.

"These transfers have drastically increased since Operation Freedom Tunnel in 2021, and their frequency has increased even more since Ben-Gvir took over the Police Ministry in the occupation's government," the ministry said.

It is worth noting that 4,700 Palestinian prisoners were still in Israeli occupation prisons by the end of 2022, including 29 women and 150 children, and about 850 administrative detainees, including 7 children, two female prisoners, 5 deputies in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and 15 journalists.

Among the Palestinian prisoners, 330 have been detained for more than 20 years, 25 before the signing of the so-called "Oslo Accords" in 1993, and 552 prisoners were sentenced to life imprisonment.
