Kobi Yaakobi, the Israel Prison Service Commissioner, revealed Thursday that terrorists would not eat any chametz during Pesach.

The announcement was made in a ceremony of the sale of chametz ahead of Pesach that was held with Chief Rabbi of Israel David Yosef, who was appointed to carry out the transaction.

Yaakobi explained to Rabbi Yosef that until about two years ago, terrorists would freeze pitas before Pesach so they could enjoy a bit of chametz during the Jewish holiday. Yaakobi put a firm end to the practice.

“There is no such thing — chametz will not be in our dwellings,” Yaakobi said. He added that the prisons were thoroughly cleaned for Pesach, including every single cell, and the prisoners also participated in the cleanup. Since he implemented the new policy, all prisoners, including terrorists, eat only food that is kosher for Passover and no chametz can be found anywhere in the prisons in accordance with Jewish law.

He further said that the terrorists aren’t even given kitniyot, according to stricter Ashkenazic practice.
