Prisoners Information Office reported that oppression units of the Israeli occupation prisons administration stormed Section 4 of "Ramon" Prison with stun grenades and rubber bullets.

"The Palestinian prisoners continue with their protest campaign against the arbitrary punitive measures taken by the administration and Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir," the office said in a tweet.

The prisoners will return their meals, organize protests for prisoners in the prison yards through group sessions, and continue to wear the prison clothes (Shabas) to express their opposition and outrage over the brutality of the administration, as per the office.

The Supreme Emergency Committee for Palestinian Prisoners called for a “day of rage” on Friday in protest of Israel’s policies, warning that the situation is on the “verge of explosion” because of the anger over the measures taken against the Palestinian prisoners.

On its account, the Ministry of Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs announced last Sunday that the Palestinian prisoners will take more severe and impactful steps against the Israeli prison administration, after 23 days of civil disobedience in protest against the arbitrary punitive measures.

It is worth noting that the Israeli Knesset approved last Wednesday in a preliminary reading a government-backed bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinians who are accused of killing illegal Israeli settlers.

The bill introduced by Police Minister Ben-Gvir passed with 55 votes, while only nine were against it.

Palestinian prisoners announced earlier in February that they will launch a decisive battle on the first day of Holy Ramadan against the Israeli occupation prisons administration and Ben-Gvir's oppression, vowing that prisoners will launch a hunger strike.
