The Israeli prison authorities have shut down the supply of water and electricity to Nafha prison, where hundreds of Palestinian political prisoners are incarcerated, according to the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission.

The Commission said, in a press release, that a “state of tension” has been prevailing across the prison following the Israeli procedure, adding that clashes could erupt there if the prison authorities continue to cut the supply of water and electricity there.

The Commission said the Israel Prison Service will be responsible for any escalation which may occur in the prison.
