Ben-Gvir Unveils Death-Row Wing With Gallows After Israel Passes Terror Death Penalty

3 articles · Updated · i24NEWS · Aug 20

A new prison wing in central Israel is being built to hold people sentenced to death for terrorism offenses, with a dedicated execution area for hangings.
Ben-Gvir said the project turns newly passed death-penalty legislation into operational infrastructure, extending his push for harsher treatment of security prisoners.
Plans for the complex include a secured death-row section, observation areas for victims and relatives, and access for official representatives of bereaved families.
Israel has used capital punishment only exceptionally — most notably in Adolf Eichmann's 1962 execution — making the broader terrorism framework a major policy shift.
