Palestinian detainees attacked with teargas, prisoners association asserts.

An Israeli force on Monday stormed a section of the Israel-run Ofer Prison in the occupied West Bank and attacked Palestinian detainees, according to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)-affiliated Palestinian Prisoners Association.



Currently home to an estimated 1,200 Palestinian inmates, the Ofer Prison is located southwest of the West Bank city of Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority's administrative capital.



In a Monday statement, the Prisoners Association said members of Israel's special Metsada Force had stormed a section of the prison where they "attacked Palestinian inmates with teargas and damaged their property".



According to Palestinian figures, more than 6,000 Palestinians -- including dozens of women, scores of minors and six lawmakers -- are currently being held in Israeli prisons. -
