The Palestinian Prisoners Club says tensions are soaring in the Israel occupation's prisons after the occupation doubled the amount of time Palestinian prisoners have to spend in solitary confinement.

Palestinian prisoners will not allow the Israeli occupation to ditch its agreements, Al Mayadeen's correspondent quoted the Captive Movement as saying on Friday. "We will go far in this battle."

The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported earlier today that a state of tension was prevailing in the Israeli occupation's prisons after the Israeli occupation prisons administration doubled the solitary confinement of Palestinians.

"The Israeli occupation's prisons saw various developments today, which included the heavy deployment of suppression units on the entrances of various prisons," the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission said. 

The Israeli occupation forces also deployed intelligence units in the prisons' various units, the agency underlined, noting that the occupation also heavily deployed K-9 units against prisoners.

The Waed prisoners association called on international organizations and the International Red Cross Committee to protect the Palestinian prisoners "in light of intelligence suggesting that the enemy is planning on making blunders."

Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners have started going out of their cells and designated blocks to protest in the prison yards as part of their steps of rebellion and disobedience against the Israeli occupation's mismanagement of its prisons, the PPC said Thursday.

PPC chief Qadura Fares said Wednesday that the Israeli occupation forces raided several blocks in Al-Naqab prison and assaulted a sizeable number of prisoners.

Prisoners detained in Israeli occupation prisons are implementing certain steps approved by the Prisoners' Higher Emergency Committee, which consist of refraining from going out for security checks and refusing to eat food provided by the prison. Monday and Wednesday were chosen as two of the days to take these measures.

The Israeli occupation currently has about 4,550 Palestinians incarcerated, including 31 female prisoners, 175 minors, and more than 700 administrative detainees - the highest number since 2008.

In a related context, the prisoner's media office said Zionist extremist Itamar Ben Gvir threatened the family of Palestinian prisoner Murad Al-Rajabi and the families of other prisoners via phone calls.

"The abuse of prisoners' families and threatening them via phone call by Knesset member Ben Gvir is an unprecedented violation that reflects the grudge Zionists have against prisoners," Waed Association reported.

"This threat comes as part of the electoral campaign of this figure, who is known for his extremism and sadism to realize political gains," the Association noted.
