National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announces new restrictions on terror inmates in Israeli prisons, aimed at worsening their living conditions in light of Israel’s ongoing war with the Gaza Strip, where an estimated 200 hostages are being held.
Approved by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the restrictions will “make prisoners’ living space more crowded.”
In addition, Ben Gvir says that terror convicts will sleep on mattresses, which the far-right minister says will enable prisons to absorb new inmates — namely terrorists captured by Israel after they infiltrated from the Gaza Strip on Saturday to conduct a staggering mass onslaught.
