Israel Breeds Nile Crocodiles for Prisons: Medieval Security Practice
Israel is introducing an unusual security measure by planning to breed Nile crocodiles in prisons. Israeli Environmental Minister Idit Silman classified the crocodiles this week as "captive-bred fauna," opening the way for their use in detention facilities. The far-right Security Ministry under Itamar Ben-Gvir welcomes this measure to prevent escape attempts by Hamas members.
