Detainees at Ofer Prison near Jerusalem
Mera Aladam – Middle East Eye Feb 23, 2026
The head of the Israel Prison Service (IPS), Kobi Yaakobi, has invited a group of settlers on a so-called “safari tour” to view Palestinian detainees while they are lying on the floor and handcuffed.
According to a report published by the Israeli news site Shomrim, far-right Israelis from the illegal Har Homa settlement in Jerusalem toured one of the state’s most secure prisons.
Chief Commissioner Yaakobi, who regularly attends the synagogues in the settlement, was hosting the group. The tour, the report noted, included a visit to several prisoner wings, a Torah lesson and even lunch.
“It is important to emphasise: Israel Prison Service facilities are not open to visits by citizens who wish to ‘be impressed’ and have strict entry procedures regarding who is allowed to enter,” the article noted.
The IPS has long been selective about who enters its premises, including restrictions on family and lawyer visitations as well as bans on rights groups from conducting investigations.
In September, prison service officials doubled down on their blanket ban on Red Cross visits to Palestinian detainees, insisting that their entry would pose a “national security threat”.
Shomrim reports that over 20 settlers were picked up from Har Homa and taken to the Nitzan Prison near Ramla, where the writer described the visit as a “safari” tour.
The trip began with a visit to the criminal wings, followed by a tour of Israel’s most secure wing, where those accused of being members of Hamas’ Nukhba – its elite unit – are held.

Detainees were forced to lay on the floor and were handcuffed, visitors to the prison said.
A source at the IPS indicated this is the way detainees are restrained during operational activity.
After a Q&A session was held, the settlers were served a specially prepared lavish lunch, the report noted.
Starvation during Ramadan
As IPS feeds settlers visiting its facilities, Palestinian prisoner rights groups warn of the ongoing starvation detainees endure.
With the arrival of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, reports of abuse and torture have only increased.
The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said in a statement over the weekend that prisoners are not only deprived of the proper knowledge of time, in order to begin and break their fast, but that they weren’t informed of Ramadan’s arrival in the first place.
Khaled Mahajna, the commission’s lawyer, recalled an instance where he asked a prisoner how his fast was going.
“He looked at me and said, ‘Today is Ramadan?! No one told us it started’,” Mahajna said, underscoring that the prison administration is attempting to “obliterate” the joy of Palestinian prisoners.
The lawyer and human rights advocate added that prisoners are denied suhoor, a pre-dawn meal eaten before Muslims begin their fast, while their iftar – breaking of the fast – is only met with scraps of food.
“The head of the Israel Prison Service (IPS), Kobi Yaakobi,…” — and of course we stupid goyim believe this kike, right????
You couldn’t make this crap up. Anything to distract from kike impotence.
Every raghead I ever knew did this on “Ramadan”: Sleep all day then stuff their faces at night, then spend all night watching movies, then sleep all the next day and repeat. I actually lived with “muslims” in a house and I never saw any of them pray. Not once. The five pillars: (1) There is no god but allah. That alone tells you they’ll never “assimilate”. (2) Praying. I never saw any I knew praying. (3) Ramadan. They fake it by sleeping all day. (4) Going to mecca. They don’t strictly have to do that, because there’s an out if you’re poor, but even the ones that go only go because it’s like going to disneyland and because it’s a staus thing. (5) The so-called giving away of money you don’t need. This is obviously fake. Look at all the rich ragheads living in great big houses with the usual homeless right outside the spiked gate. Islam is as fake as all the other religions. It’s just a club for the members. Do you want to be beheaded? Or have your hands chopped off? Or be stoned? Or be forced to pretend to pray? Or be forced to marry a man forty years older than you? Or be one of four wives? Or be forced to wear a sheet? Or be forced to be beholden to your “husband” for absolutely everything? It’s a very nice club isn’t it? On bonfire night in Nigeria, they set fire to Christians. But, of course, all the ones in your country don’t do any of this. They’re all the good ones! Just like the jews! Only you’re shit in your country.
