Meanwhile, the Prisoners Media Office said that the Israeli occupation forces stormed the prisoners’ rooms in section three of Naqab Prison, attacked the prisoners and destroyed their belongings.

Prisoners in the Naqab prison have been protesting over the past few days following the installation of installation of jamming devices at the facility.

As a result, prisoners refused to complete their daily tasks including cleaning the units, saying the new devices are causing them severe headaches and as a result Israel is trying to “burn us and kill us through the devices, and we will stand up against them at any cost”.
