Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported today, Tuesday, that tensions are rising in all Israeli occupation prisons, noting that "all [prison] blocks have been completely shut down."

Our correspondent also indicated that contact with the prisoners of Block 12 in Nafha Prison was lost," leaving the fate of more than 80 prisoners unknown.

He pointed out that there is true fear for the lives of these prisoners, some of whom are sick and elderly prisoners, due to expected systematic repression by the Israeli occupation prisons' administration.

He revealed that the fate of the prisoner Youssef Al Mabhouh, who carried out the operation in revenge for the systematic assault on female prisoners, is still unknown, warning that his life is in danger.

This comes at a time the Palestinian Prisoners Ministry announced that an agreement has been reached between the Captive Movement and the Israeli Prison Service, stipulating the end of the women prisoners’ isolation and the arbitrary measures against them.

The Hamas movement considered that "the administration of the Israeli occupation prisons is trying, by returning the isolated female prisoners to their blocks, to cover up its actions in order to prevent any uprising in the streets and any action by the Resistance's leadership.”

The Palestinian Prisoners' Committee in Gaza declared a state of emergency in support of the Captive Movement.

In this context, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said that "the Movement's message to the occupation is clear that the prisoners' file is separate from other files."

Hamdan confirmed in an exclusive interview for Al Mayadeen that "the heroes of the Gilboa Tunnel, in addition to Ahmed Saadat, Mahmoud Issa, and Marwan Barghouti are at the head of those who must be liberated."

On Monday, private sources told Al Mayadeen that the Hamas movement conveyed a strongly-worded message to the Egyptian delegation in Gaza about the occupation's assault on female prisoners.

The Palestine Center had called on all institutions and organizations that advocate women's rights to "urgently intervene to put an end to the worsening suffering of female prisoners in order to obtain justice for them and to stop the crimes the occupation commits against them.”
