Six Palestinian prisoners escape Israeli jail through tunnel - BBC News

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.

An Israel prison service official described the escape as "a major security and intelligence failure"; Palestinian militant groups hailed it as "heroic".
