Shehab Wire (EN) reported that Islam Abdo, media director at Gaza's Ministry of Prisoners and Detainees, condemned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for entering the women's section of Damoun prison. Abdo characterized the visit as political theater and an attempt to break the will of female detainees held there.
Ben Gvir released video footage from the incursion that contained threats against the prisoners, Abdo told Shehab Wire (EN). The official's statement came as part of broader criticism from Gaza's prison authority over the Israeli minister's actions at the facility.
