Two Israeli prison guards were stabbed by Hamas inmates on Sunday evening at Keziot prison, Prison Authority Spokesperson reported.
One was evacuated in critical condition to the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva by helicopter. His condition is now stable, and he was able to speak on the phone with his family. The second was treated for mild injuries.
11 Hamas prisoners were injured as guards tried to regain control over them after the stabbing. Seven were also brought to Soroka with three of those in critical condition, according to the Israel Prison Services.
Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan, who oversees the Israel Police and Prison Services, commented that “We will continue to fight terror within the prison system and to prevent the direction of terror attacks on Israeli citizens from within the prisons.”
“I wish for a speedy recovery for the Israel Prison Service guards who were wounded, and stand by the [IPS] guards, who act resolutely when facing terrorists,” he added.
The prison, called Ancar 3 by Palestinians and is near the Israeli border with Egypt, is under full Israeli control.
