The terrorists in Israeli prisons watch television on sports, recreation and drama channels - all at the expense of Israeli citizens.
This is what the Prison Service revealed today (Wednesday) for the first time.
According to the information published following a request for freedom of information by the legal wing of the "If You Will" movement, Fatah prisoners have 10 channels open and Hamas prisoners five channels. National Geographic Abu Dhabi, Palestine Channel, drama and action channels of mbc channel, Lebanese channel LBC, Saudi channel Rotana cinema, RT Arabic channel, as well as channels 11, 12 and 13.
The IPS said: "The initiative to reduce the basket of channels offered to security prisoners is important from the point of view of the prison service, and has the potential to convey a message of governance and sovereignty in prisons.
Accordingly, about 60 channels of the existing variety have been removed from the TV channel basket. "
The IPS also emphasized that "there is full supervision of channels that include channels without incitement and without damaging the image (without the World Cup and without the Olympics).
The television channels for the security prisoners are limited by supervisors, and there is no incitement or special broadcasts.
This is part of the limited conditions of incarceration for security prisoners, as has always been determined. "
The legal wing of the "If You Will" movement, which sent the request for freedom of information, said: "It is shameful to see the enormous benefits that the terrorists receive in prisons funded by the Israeli public. In Israel, all the more so when it comes to Hamas terrorists.
While the terrorist organization holds two Israeli civilians captive and does not transfer the bodies of our soldiers, its prisoners enjoy far-reaching benefits.
The current situation is completely absurd and we expect this benefit to be denied immediately. "
