Palestine: At dawn, 6 Palestinian prisoners from PIJ and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade escaped from Gilboa maximum security prison by digging a tunnel to the outside.

Security forces only knew they are missing after a Zionist farmer reported suspicious personnel near his lands.

Thirty years ago, in 1991, an escape attempt was made through a tunnel from inside the prison camp. The one who led this attempt was Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas today in Gaza.

At the time, he dug the tunnel with his cellmate, Tawfiq Abu Naim, and Muhammad Sharatha. The plan failed after it was discovered by the israeli Prison Service. The three were released as part of an exchange deal with Corporal Gilad Shalit.
