Israeli Prison Service (IPS) intends to impose a series of new punitive measures against detainees held at Hadarim detention center and others, in days to come, the Committee of Detainees Affairs reported, Tuesday.
The committee reported, in a press statement, that these measures will involve moving of all the detainees from their rooms to the prison yards at times of inspection of windows and search, and tightened restrictions on all detainees when they go to the exercise yard.
The Committee explained, according to Al Ray, that IPS informed the detainees that they would strictly prohibit the entry of any educational textbooks, during family visits, and ban all purchases of frozen food.
The detainees told the lawyers of the committee during a visit yesterday that these punishment measures came up to orders from the Israeli Minister of Internal Security, Gilad Ardan, to tighten the measures against detainees in various detention centers.
The detainees said that these measures would worse the detention conditions, in light of the unprecedented and incitement incitement by the Israeli right, and the continuous racist directives against Palestinian detainees by the Israeli Minister of Internal Security and the director of the IPS.
It is noteworthy that Ardan had announced earlier the formation of a specialized committee in mid-June, its role to determine the conditions of detention of Palestinian detainees held in Israeli detention centers.

The Israeli military court of Ofer placed a 45-year-old Palestinian detainee under administrative detention, on Monday.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners and Former Prisoners Affairs' Committee, Ayman Nasser Karajeh, 45, from the Saffa village in the central occupied West Bank district of Ramallah, was placed under administrative detention for six months.
The committee pointed out that Israeli forces detained Karajeh on September 9th 2018 and underwent several days of intense interrogation until he was sentenced to administrative detention.
Karajeh, a husband and father of four children, is the legal unit coordinator at Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association and had previously been sentenced to one year of administrative detention.
Administrative detention is imprisonment without trial or charge, it has no time limit and the evidence on which it is based is not disclosed.
Israel utilizes this measure extensively and routinely and has used it to hold hundreds of Palestinians for lengthy periods of time.
A report by Israeli NGO B'Tselem, which was based on the Israeli Prison Service statistics, read that over the last year, 29 Palestinians were taken into administrative detention every month, on average, and 37 were released.
The report added that in the past decade, the number of detainees held by Israel in a single month never fell below 150.
Rights groups say that Israel's administrative detention policy has been used as an attempt to disrupt Palestinian political processes, particularly targeting Palestinian activists, journalists, and politicians.
According to prisoners rights group Addameer, there are 5,781 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, 456 of whom are administrative detainees.
Court imposes administrative detention on Palestinian notables
Israeli occupation authorities on Monday issued administrative detention orders against the Palestinian human rights researcher Ayman Karaja and Hamas official Raafat Nasif.

Karaja, who had served several sentences in Israeli jails, was recently arrested from his house during an Israeli raid into Safa village near Ramallah.
Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said in a brief statement that Israel's Salem military court issued a four-month administrative detention order against Hamas official Raafat Nasif.
The office said that Nasif, an ex-prisoner who had spent about 15 years in Israeli jails, was arrested on 4th September after the Israeli occupation forces raided his house in Tulkarem.
There are 6,000 Palestinians languishing in Israeli jails, 430 of whom are administrative detainees, and 300 are minors.
