Israel Prisons Service Commissioner, Lieutenant General-Commander Kati Perry, on Monday morning discussed the escape of six terrorists from the Gilboa Prison, saying it is not yet clear if the six received outside help in executing their escape.
"It's clear that they did not do it by digging, but rather lifted a cover and used the space in their cell," Perry said.
Israel Police Northern Command Commander Commissioner Arik Yaakov said that the shaft by which the terrorists exited is apparently a space in the prison building, as part of the foundations upon which it was built.
"The incident is still being investigated, and still examined," he said. "We're not talking about a tunnel which was dug, exactly. There's a failure in the building, which is on top of a base of poles. There is a space underneath - and apparently the prisoners used it."
