Israeli authorities have launched a massive manhunt after six Palestinian prisoners escaped from one of the country’s most secure jails overnight.
The men are believed to have dug a tunnel from their cell over several months that led to a road outside Gilboa Prison’s walls.
Officials were alerted by farmers who noticed them running through fields.
The fugitives include a former leader of the militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and five Islamic Jihad members.
