A year ago: A tunnel was dug into Eshel Prison by a criminal organization
In the report, the intelligence revealed a case of digging a tunnel outside the Eshel prison grounds, a case that until now was not known to the general public.
According to the report, a tunnel was dug into the prison compound in December last year.
According to the information, the tunnel was excavated by criminal elements, from the areas of the Bedouin diaspora in the vicinity of the compound, possibly with the funding of members of the Tarabin tribe, and with the involvement of criminal figures with senior status in Yaniv Zaguri's criminal organization.
"An inspection carried out at the time by the IPS to locate piles found an indication of an underground space on the eastern side of the compound.
The land in the Eshel compound is characterized by limestone soil, which is convenient for carrying out an excavation operation, "the report reads.
Ignored the report.

The report states that "the main intelligence axis among the security prisoners - plotting them in prisons - has not been revealed by the organization, certainly not to the extent that is plausible." A document sent to the IPS commissioner stated "details of the threat" and stated that "during 2014, the organization of Islamic Jihad was thwarted and a tunnel was exposed." The jail and five were caught inside the tunnel.
Recommendations for action have been written to the IPS Commissioner.
In my opinion, a real change is needed in this aspect.
The effectiveness of the daily inspections carried out by the security guards is not proven. "However, despite the severe warnings in the intelligence report, Commissioner Perry did not immediately address the issue and order immediate sealing of the cavities in the concrete. About eight months later, last September The piles that were alerted by IPS intelligence were the ones that helped the prisoners escape.
So far Perry has not been interviewed by the media and has not given answers to the public about the serious omission that occurred in her shift.
His testimony began today in the investigation committee of Sub-Gondar Regev Dahrog, head of the IPS's intelligence division.
IPS response
The IPS stated that "the document is part of a complete set of actions taken at the IPS and with other external parties. The actions taken during Commissioner Perry's tenure will be submitted to the inspection committee as required."
