Ketziot Prison

Security prisoner Tair Abu Asab asked a shift sergeant if there was a "hudna" (truce) in the war. According to the indictment, the shift commander led a force into the cell during a count, where they attacked nine prisoners with batons. Abu Asab suffered a fatal heart injury, and the officers subsequently attempted to obstruct the investigation.

After boasting about creating moats with crocodiles to secure prisons, the chairman of Otzma Yehudit fears the move is hurting the election campaign and has ordered the party not to highlight the plan in public messaging. This was learned by Ynet. The minister's office stated: 'We do not engage in media spins.'

This is a technological regression and an operational illusion. While modern security concepts rely on artificial intelligence systems, drones, peripheral radars, thermal sensors, and underground sensors, placing crocodiles is a primitive solution from the Middle Ages.

A court has temporarily blocked National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's initiative to use crocodiles for security at Ketziot Prison. This move reflects a broader trend of political interference that Defense Minister Israel Katz is also adopting.
