Damon Prison, located on Mount Carmel, is designated for the incarceration of security prisoners. In recent years, a special wing was established for dozens of individuals accused of espionage for Iran. These inmates are under constant surveillance via cameras in their cells and are held in isolation without communication or visits.
The circumstances of the arrest have not been fully clarified, and the investigation is ongoing. Security officials are examining the phone data and the suspects' purpose for being in the vicinity of the security facility.
