Israeli court blocks Ben Gvir crocodile moat plan for prisons holding Palestinians
An Israeli court blocked a plan by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to install crocodiles in moats around prisons holding Palestinian prisoners. The plan, supported by the National Security Ministry and Israel Prison Service, involved Nile crocodiles in trenches at Ketziot Prison. A temporary injunction was issued after an animal rights organization filed a petition citing animal mistreatment and staff safety concerns.
