security prisoners

In December 2023, Abu Ganima, an Israeli citizen resident of the Negev, was arrested by IDF forces while trying to enter Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Prisoners are afforded nowhere near the four-and-half square meter minimum afforded them under international law.

From the outbreak of the war until last week, about 3,400 more prisoners were arrested and imprisoned, most of them terrorists from Gaza and the West Bank, all identified with Hamas.

The prisoner is 38-year-old Thaer Abu Asab, who is serving a 20-year sentence for attempting to bomb a checkpoint near Nablus in 2005 during the Second Intifada.

According to the law, criminal prisoners will continue to appear for hearings at the court in person, but security prisoners can undergo hearings over video conference.

Balancing security concerns with family ties, the Israeli legal system grapples with the intricate dynamics within prisons.

Attorney Yair Ochayon told The Jerusalem Post that the terrorist had threatened to “hurt her and her family, and to ruin her life."

The inability to address the role of female guards in security wings demonstrates a systemic failure in the IPS.

Contrary to earlier reports, the guard's lawyer said that the terrorist had threatened to "hurt her and her family, and to ruin her life."

Locals recall being woken up to movement in their homes, prompting call-and-response action from the intruder.
