Israel Announces Death Penalty Facility for Palestinian Prisoners with Viewing Galleries
Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced the construction of a dedicated execution facility and gallows specifically intended for Palestinian prisoners condemned to death. According to regional reporting from outlets including BioBioChile, El Correo, and El Independiente, the installation features specialized observation booths designed to allow the families of victims to watch the hangings.
Infrastructure of the New Execution Corridor
According to El Independiente, Minister Ben Gvir publicly defended the facility’s construction, declaring that “Nuestros terroristas solo merecen la muerte en la horca”. The newly engineered infrastructure incorporates viewing galleries explicitly styled as observation boxes. These sections are intended to accommodate victims’ families directly within the execution chambers.
Bilbao Hiria notes that the construction of this first dedicated chamber marks a definitive administrative shift. The establishment of physical hardware—described in reports from El Boletín as a dedicated hanging installation or patíbulo—signals an active operational framework.
