    Israeli media says crocodile-filled moats could surround prisons holding Palestinians

    Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman reclassified crocodiles as 'managed wild animals,' removing a legal barrier to a proposal by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to surround Palestinian detainee prisons with crocodile-filled moats. The Israel Prison Service is assessing the plan's feasibility, which aims to deter escapes and reduce guarding costs, despite objections from the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.
