Government cracking down on Hamas terrorist cell phone use
This has to be the only country in the world where dangerous security prisoners are allowed to have cell phones. That's about to change.Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch on Wednesday said that the government is considering the use of electronic devices to stop the operation of smuggled cell phones by Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails.Only partially successful? I'd say it's more like they look the other way. Well, at least that's about to stop.
The announcement came after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed last week to toughen the conditions of Hamas prisoners following the Gaza leadership's refusal of a Red Cross request to receive proof that captured IDF soldier Gilad Schalit is alive.
Hamas prisoners are forbidden from using cellular phones but the Prison Service has been only partially successful in preventing the phenomenon, Aharonovitch said. Prisoners use the devices to communicate with Hamas leadership as well as prisoners in other jails.

Carl, if that's the case, I can only think there's a reason for the authorities to tacitly "allow" this. The Prison Service's efforts to prevent cellphone possession and usage by imprisoned terrorists are exactly as successful/unsuccessful as the appropriate Israeli agencies want the efforts to be.
Some interesting reading here, here, here...
