RAMALLAH, Monday, March 25, 2019 (WAFA) – The Palestinian presidency condemned the Israeli escalation against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, particularly oppressive measures taken by the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) against Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli prison in the Naqab (Negev) desert region of southern Israel.

The presidency held Israeli prime minister Netanyahu’s government fully responsible for the lives of prisoners, slamming such measures against Palestinian prisoners a violation of international humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Israeli prison guards Sunday evening attacked Palestinian prisoners in the southern Israeli military prison of Naqab, injuring over 25 prisoners, including two critical injuries.
