A resident of the western Samarian Palestinian Authority city of Qalqilya is under investigation on suspicion of trying to smuggle a cellular phone into a prison.
The suspect was arrested yesterday after pulling out a Hamas flag and behaving in a disorderly fashion during a hearing at the Salem Military Court. During a search at Megiddo Prison a magnometer examination raised the suspicion that he had a cell phone in his body, which was later confirmed. The phone was removed. The suspect faces a remand hearing.
