Dybbuks in jail are non-discriminatory
A reporter from Channel 13 News, Maor Tzur, has reported on his Twitter feed a very strange story from the Hermon Prison.
According to the series of tweets, in the past few days there have been 4 prisoners, both Jewish and Arab prisoners, claiming to be possessed by a dybbuk. The Jewish prisoners requested Rav Dovid Batzri to be brought in to exorcise the dybbuk. Rav Batzri is supposedly a modern-day dybbuk expert and has been involved in [many of] the various dybbuk incidents that have cropped up in recent decades.
Note - I am mixing info from Tzur's tweets and from the news blast of the Hamoked Whatsapp group.
According to Tzur, the rabbi of the prison was brought in to deal with it. It seems he or the warden then involved the medical staff of the prison and the "dybbuk" was dealt with. It also seems a sheikh was involved due to some of the involved prisoners being Arabs. I guess they only requested Rav Batzri, if at all, but the prison claims nobody was brought in from the outside and it was dealt with internally by the prison medical and administrative staff.
To me it sounds like bored prisoners who found a way to generate a couple of exciting days with changed routines. Dybbuks are always fun, though presumably not for the person supposedly possessed by one.

פרסום ראשון ומוזר: בימים האחרונים אסירים בכלא חרמון טוענים שנכנס בהם דיבוק. מדובר על מקרה כנראה רביעי שהיה היום כאשר אסיר החל להשתולל במשך חצי שעה כשהוא צורח שיש בו נשמה ושרוצים להרוג אותו. כאמור, זהו המקרה הרביעי שהיה השבוע. הנהלת הכלא זימנו באופן מיוחד את הרב של הכלא.— Maor Tzur (@TzurMaor) January 7, 2020
תגובת שב״ס לדיבוק:— Maor Tzur (@TzurMaor) January 7, 2020
לפיקוד בית הסוהר הגיע דיווח על אסיר הטוען כי הוא ׳אחוז דיבוק׳. סגל האגף הגיע למקום לבדוק את טענות האסירים .*לא זומן* שום גורם דת כזה או אחר לכלא.
האסיר מטופל על ידי גורמי רפואה .
לפני מספר חודשים דווח על טענה דומה שטופלה אף היא על ידי גורמי הרפואה.
