Israeli Repression Units Storm Section 3 of Negev Prison

Israeli repression units stormed Thursday morning section “3” in the Israeli prison of Negev and forcibly moved a number of Palestinian prisoners to another section, according to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs.

This comes after a series of raids by the Israeli units, the latest of which was a few days ago in section 26, said the Commission.

Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) and the Commission held the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) fully responsible for inmates in Negev prison.

This raid follows the visit of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The PPS noted that the IPS has carried out several raids on the prison since the beginning of this year and has imposed sanctions on hundreds of inmates there.

Some of these sanctions include financial fines, solitary confinement, and arbitrarily transferring a group of captives to other prisons.

The raids are part of the fixed policies endorsed by the IPS.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that since 2019, the IPS escalated exemplary punishment against captives during raids. In 2019-2020, several raids occurred, and they were the most violent in years.

In 2021, the raids increased following the “Freedom Tunnel” operation and they have never stopped since then.

Building in Beirut Southern Suburbs Struck After Israeli Warning

A building in Beirut’s southern suburbs known as Dahieh was struck on Sunday almost an hour after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order to residents of the area.

The Israeli army's spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, earlier said on X that residents should evacuate several buildings in the Hadath neighborhood and move "at least 300 meters away.”

Residents reported hearing gunfire across the area, which they said they believed was intended to warn people to leave, as well as seeing a massive traffic jam on roads leading from the area.

"To everyone located in the building marked in red on the attached map, and the surrounding buildings: you are near facilities belonging to Hezbollah," Adraee wrote in a post that included a map of the potential targets.

The Israeli army said the building was being used to store precision missiles belonging to Hezbollah.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that Hezbollah's precision missiles "posed a significant threat to the State of Israel."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on the United States and France, as guarantors of the ceasefire agreement struck in November, to compel Israel to stop its attacks.
"Israel's continued actions in undermining stability will exacerbate tensions and place the region at real risk, threatening its security and stability," he said in a statement.

Earlier this month an Israeli airstrike killed four people, including a Hezbollah official, in Beirut's southern suburbs -the second Israeli strike on a Hezbollah-controlled area of the Lebanese capital in five days.
