On video: Documenting the riots in Gilboa prison after the escape (Walla system!)
An attempt to attack a guard was made this evening (Wednesday) by inmates at Megiddo Prison, according to a report published a short time ago (Wednesday).
This, while counting a night in prison.
The warden, who functioned as the shift commander in Wing 10 - managed to escape after pressing the emergency button and alerting additional staff to the scene.
No injuries were reported among the staff, and the commander of the facility stated that the incident was under control.

Yesterday, the level of vigilance in the prison service was raised following the death of security prisoner Khader Adnan, a key activist in the Islamic Jihad, who died at the end of 86 days of hunger strike.
After his death, prisoners in Ofer prison began to knock on the cell doors and one prisoner even tried to throw liquid at a warden.
460 prisoners belonging to the Islamic Jihad are imprisoned in Israeli prisons.
"We have issued an order to increase alertness," said Shabbos Commissioner Cathy Perry.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir held a situation assessment with Perry, in which they decided to increase the level of security in the prison and close the cells for the exit and entry of prisoners, with the aim of preventing riots and disturbances within the prisons. In addition, Ben Gvir instructed the Shavas to inform the terrorists in the prisons that if terrorists start a hunger strike or riots, they will be deprived of the conditions they currently receive.
"To drive with zero tolerance. We must drive in a determined and clear manner while negating the conditions they have unfortunately received in recent years," he said.
