Gilboa Prison
Report: The IDF has banned soldiers from the Judea and Samaria Division from leaving their bases to prepare for potential escalation.
Palestinian security prisoners also broke out of an Israeli prison in 1987, an incident that Col. (res.) David Hacham, a former Arab affairs adviser to Israeli defense ministers, said was one of the catalysts for the outbreak of the First Intifada.
The Israel Police has reportedly gained information substantiating suspicions that prison guards helped the terrorists escape from Gilboa Prison via a tunnel.
The six were serving life sentences in connection with deadly attacks against Israelis and are considered highly dangerous.
