"Pimped conscripts in prison"
Opening his testimony yesterday, Ben Sheetrit said: "From the night of the incident, I was accused of being responsible for the default, even before an investigation or investigation. I can say that I was marked by the commissioner as the person responsible for the incident that failed miserably."
Regarding the intelligence issue surrounding the incident, he admitted: "As a prison commander, I am not allowed to operate or raise resources. At the beginning of February I demanded to get a picture of the cellular smuggling situation in the prison. According to the commanding officer, there were ten smuggled devices in the prison.
This is considered a reasonable number relative to other places.
"There may have been some kind of fraud here led by inmates who contributed information around smuggled phones, thereby creating a sense of satisfaction among the paramedics to hide the tunnel excavation. I have no idea how it was not revealed at the intelligence level."

"Cynical exploitation of victims"
The Prison Service said: "It is strange to hear that such a serious allegation on the part of someone who sat at the organizational decision center and served as an IPS commissioner while investigating the incident, is heard only now and probably would not have been heard if he had not been asked to come and testify personally.
This is an attempt to change the public debate from dealing with an examination of its function, to dealing with a matter that was examined under a previous commissioner, and closed by the State Attorney's Office.
"We can only regret the officer's choice to cynically exploit the vulnerability of crime victims trying to rebuild their lives, in order to divert public attention from his testimony in the escape investigation committee that took place under his direct command. It must be immediately referred to law enforcement to re-examine the previous decision. "
