New details about the escape from prison: The tunnel was excavated for about a year:
The tunnel, which is about 25-20 meters long, was excavated with the knowledge of a limited number of prisoners. Preliminary investigation indicates that one of the guards fell asleep during his shift and that no one was guarding the tower above the escape shaft. Three of the terrorists were involved in digging a tunnel in 2014 in Shata Prison but were nevertheless placed in the same cell in Gilboa Prison.
