Inmates in riot at Israeli jail


Israel holds about 6,000 Palestinians behind bars
Dozens of Palestinians have rioted at an Israeli prison, wounding at least two jailers before being dispersed.
Reports said inmates used boiling liquid to attack staff at new prison facility at Gilboa which holds about 800 Palestinian detainees.

One of the injured was the commandant of the jail, Israeli websites reported.

About 6,000 Palestinians are estimated to be currently in Israeli detention, and inmates frequently complain of overcrowding in jails.

The injured commandant had boiling oil thrown at him, according to one report, although other reports say it was boiling water.


He was taken to the prison's health clinic for treatment after being hit in the face, back and neck.

Backup units were called to Gilboa prison and all jails holding Palestinian security prisoners were put on alert, Israel radio reported.

Reports say Gilboa is the most heavily-guarded Israeli prison and houses dozens of Palestinian detainees considered to pose the most danger to Israel - including militants from Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad.

Many of the detainees are held there while they are interrogated by the security services.

Israel should have the death penalty.

You know, it would be too bad if there was a terrible fire - a raging inferno, really - while all the prisoners were still locked in their cells.

it will be a huge relief for israeli taxpayers and obviously the victims of terror.

Yes, the death-penalty is a great idea... actually, so was David's (in NYC) How many Israelis citizens have died by the hands of these evil gits?

I agree. If you listen to them speak, they believe that Israel won't be around long enough to serve their life sentences, and that either we kill them or they will kill us. We might as well give them what they want.

I believe we are too generous with our judicial and moral considerations for these murderers. As mentioned, the Israeli tax-payers pay the freight for, those whom murdered loved ones, family members, and fellow citizens. It is victimizing the victims once again; moreover, these bastards murdered and would murder again. I’m sure our leftist do-gooders would call it vengeance; it sounds good to me.
