Israel's prison service is planning a four-kilometer concrete wall around the prison complex south of Beersheba, with a new women's prison to be built inside the secured compound, according to reports. The three-meter wall will include detection and identification systems. Southern District Commander Yuval Ehrlich said the project, ordered by Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi, will surround the Dekel, Eshel and Ohalim Oz facilities. The new women's facility will be called Neve Tirza, while prison officers have received protective vests and Tasers for operations inside the prisons.
