Inmates set cell alight in Ramon Prison; blaze under control

As Palestinian terror convicts in Israeli jails continue to protest changes imposed after the escape earlier this week of six security prisoners, a cell in Ramon Prison has been set ablaze.

The Israel Prisons Service says prisoners started a fire in their cell in Wing 7, and that officials have gained control of the blaze.

The inmates that set the cell on fire are reportedly affiliated with Fatah, not the Palestinian Islamic Jihad that has been leading the prison unrest in recent days.
