The Israeli Prison Service initiated a large-scale security operation across five correctional facilities on Wednesday morning. The operation, targeting inmates incarcerated for security-related offenses, commenced at precisely 6:29 AM, the exact time of the Hamas attacks three years prior. Personnel from all districts, along with specialized units Masada and Nahshon, participated in the extensive searches of cells and wings. The objective was to find prohibited items and uncover potential security threats. According to the Prison Service, this preemptive action aims to enhance facility control, prevent disturbances, and thwart any attempts to endanger staff or compromise prison security. These measures are part of the ongoing policy under Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi, who stated that control operations are conducted year-round, with increased prevention and deterrence measures during periods of heightened security sensitivity. The service affirmed its commitment to maintaining order, control, and security within facilities and thwarting any threats originating from them. No details on items seized during the searches were released.
