Israel starts building crocodile pens for Palestinians
Israeli authorities have begun digging trenches inside Ketziot Prison in the Negev Desert to establish designated crocodile channels as part of a security project launched by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The aim of the project is to use crocodiles as a deterrent against Palestinian prisoners. The plan includes excavating a channel approximately 170 meters long around one of the prison wings, with preparations underway to transfer the crocodiles. Additionally, the decision to classify the Nile crocodile as a protected wild animal has made the project legally feasible, despite widespread criticism both domestically and internationally, with some arguing that the funds could have been better used to combat crime and improve the conditions of detainees. The implementation scenario is still in the planning stage. The project has cost about 21 million shekels, despite opposition describing the idea as imaginary and a tool for further incitement and violations against Palestinian prisoners.
