RAMALLAH, Israeli jailers today attacked a number of Palestinian prisoners inside the waiting rooms at Ofer military court, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

Israeli jailers assaulted a number of prisoners and pepper-sprayed them while they were waiting for their hearings in the waiting area at Ofer military court, said PPS.

PPS, in a brief statement, said that prisoners from all factions threatened to embark on a series of measures to protest the attack on their fellow inmates, including refusing to show up for their military court hearings tomorrow.

Prisoners reportedly refused to go back to their rooms unless the prisoners, who were placed in solitary confinement after being attacked by the jailers, are brought back to their cells.
