The Palestinian Prisoners' Club announced that the Israeli Prison Service's repression units raided Sections 1 and 3 of the Gilboa Prison the night before, with the participation of the Israeli occupation Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Israeli Prison Service conducted extensive room searches and closed all sections using excessive force, including sound grenades, during a violent raid by the repression units amidst heightened tension.

In a press release, the Club stated that Israeli prison authorities were escalating their hostilities against the prisoners by raiding sections and dismantling unity through transfers of Palestinian prisoners.

The Club has highlighted that the current situation in the prisons is indicative of a high probability of further confrontation with the Israeli occupation prisons authority. This is particularly concerning given the recent increase in raids, mass transfers, and the imposition of punitive measures against the prisoners. All of these actions are aimed at altering the prison environment and undermining any stability that the prisoners attempt to establish through their struggle and resistance.

This comes shortly after the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees indicated on Monday that the prisoners of Section 5 of "Ramon" Prison are being subjected to harsh and tragic conditions after the Israeli occupation prison administration raided their rooms and suppressed them and transferred them to Nafha Prison on Sunday morning.

On Sunday, the Handala Center for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs reported that the Israeli occupation had transferred the Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Ahmad Saadat, and several other prisoners from "Ramon" Prison to Nafha Prison.

For years, Palestinian prisoners have engaged in various forms of confrontation, reaching a point where they have declared their readiness to engage in a mass hunger strike.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies has lately confirmed that the number of arrests carried out by the occupation authorities since the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in September 2000 had reached 143,000, including 2,604 women and 20,237 children, acknowledging that the number of prisoners increased significantly, as a result of arrests during the first years of the Intifada, reaching more than 12,000 Palestinian prisoners in 2007.

Approximately 5,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently held in Israeli occupation prisons, including 31 women in Damon Prison, as well as 160 children distributed in "Ofer", "Meggido", and "Damon" prisons.
