Gilboa Prison Commander, Gondar Mishnah Freddy Ben Sheetrit, testified yesterday (Monday) in the Lahav 433 unit as part of an investigation into the escape of six terrorists from Gilboa Prison.
As you may recall, after the terrorists escaped, failures were discovered in the prison security system.
"Israel Today" has learned that in addition to the prison guard who fell asleep in the guard tower overlooking the pit from which the terrorists fled, there is another guard tower below which is a control room that includes nine screens that overlook the prison fences.
It turns out that the room was manned by a prison guard who for some unknown reason did not watch them.
It turns out that 21 minutes have passed from the moment the first terrorist entered the tunnel from which the terrorists fled, until they left it.

It should be noted that this is not a matter of receiving material bribes, but of an unusual response to the prisoners' requests in exchange for silence in the wards.
In addition, the prison has a special professional staff that is supposed to enter the cells every week and inspect them structurally (floors and walls).
A senior IPS official told Israel Today that if the team had followed the orders and procedures, the tunnel opening would have been exposed and it would have been avoided.
The hunt for the two terrorists continues
Also, after the arrest of the four terrorists on Saturday, the hunt for the two terrorists continued.
There are a number of assessments among the intelligence agencies, including the fact that due to the time that has passed, one or both of them may have managed to cross the seam line and enter the Palestinian Authority.

The capture of the four terrorists was made possible, among other things, thanks to the vigilance of civilians who reported to the police. In this matter, the police and the other security forces are expecting "gold knowledge" that will lead to the two. An assessment of the situation carried out by the police and the GSS raises suspicion that one of them managed to escape into the Palestinian Authority while exploiting a loophole in the fence.
