Israeli Security Forces Seek Recapture of Palestinian Security Prisoners after Prison Break
(Times of Israel) Six Palestinian security prisoners who escaped on Monday from Gilboa Prison were still at large on Thursday. Five of the fugitives are members of Islamic Jihad, four of whom were in jail for life in connection with deadly attacks against Israelis. The sixth is Fatah terror chief Zakaria Zubeidi, who is on trial for two dozen crimes, including attempted murder. The jailbreak sparked riots by Palestinians in other prisons, as well as in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, in solidarity with the escaped prisoners.
