National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir recently toured Damon Prison, where he received a briefing from prison commanders and met with prison officers.

Ben Gvir then toured the wing where female terrorists are being held, including terrorists affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.

Ben Gvir entered the cells and heard complaints from the female terrorists about the stringent prison conditions and the revocation of privileges they had previously enjoyed. The terrorists claimed that their prison conditions had deteriorated significantly and had become “very bad.”

One terrorist complained that she didn’t receive enough shampoo. “Our hostages didn’t receive shampoo,” Ben-Gvir responded.

“You abducted our children,” Ben Gvir added. “The days of summer camps in Israeli jails are over. Whoever harmed my brothers won’t receive hotel-like conditions. I hope that you don’t get released, but if you do, inform everyone in Jenin about the conditions here.”

Ben Gvir added that he’s proud that he succeeded in reducing terrorists’ prison conditions to the barest minimum. We make no apologies — anyone who harms Israeli citizens will not get a summer camp in prison. Male and female terrorists will receive the minimum required by law, and nothing beyond that.”

 

Former hostage Rom Braslavski responded to a video of the tour published on social media, writing: “I was held hostage by her organization, Islamic Jihad, and she allows herself to talk way too much. Ben Gvir, you could be sure that they didn’t speak to us like that. B’ezrat Hashem, the next time you speak with her, give her a slap across the face.”

Braslavki, who returned from Hamas captivity emaciated after being deliberately starved by his captors, later revealed he had endured unspeakable torture and assault in Gaza.

In a tremendous Kiddush Hashem, he has been drawing closer to Yiddishkeit since his return, even removing his tattoos as part of his teshuva process.
