In recent days, a focused operational activity has been conducted in the districts, in which prison fighters from Dekel Prison work together with a Southern District Unit to locate watches that are not sold in the canteen - and are prohibited from use in prison facilities.

The prisoners involved were subject to disciplinary action.
