A family member of a “security prisoner” (terrorist) was arrested on Monday, 24 Shevat 5773 during a visit as he tried smuggling cell phones and SIM cards to prisoners in Megiddo Prison. A 10-year-old visiting his grandfather was found smuggling the items. It is not a rarity that children are used, with terrorists’ family members realizing the punishment against a 10-year-old will not be severe. The grandfather being visited by the child apprehended is serving a 21-year sentence for his terrorism, Kol HaYehudi reports.

Earlier in the day, the mother of one terrorist was apprehended with 49 SIM cards taped to an arm. She was placed under arrest.
