An unspecified number of Palestinian prisoners at Israel's Ramon Prison were injured after being attacked by prison guards, a Palestinian Authority (PA) official said Monday.
"Israeli guards stormed a ward of Ramon Prison, triggering clashes with Palestinian prisoners," Issa Qaraqe, head of the PA's agency for Palestinian prisoners, said in a statement, World Bulletin reported.
The clashes left several prisoners wounded, he said, without providing further details.
Around 1,000 Palestinians are currently held in Ramon Prison in southern Israel.
Over 7,000 Palestinians continue to languish in prisons throughout Israel, according to official Palestinian statistics.
