In a Hollywood movie style six prisoners at an Israeli prison escaped by digging a tunnel from their barrack to a muddy road outside the prison.
Israeli security agencies released a videotape detailing the way prisoners escaped at night from Gilboa Prison in the Bisan area - northern Israel.
On Monday, the Israeli army announced that it had expanded its search for 6 Palestinian prisoners who escaped from the high-security Gilboa prison last night.
The Israeli army said that its forces are supporting the Internal Security Agency, the "Shin Bet", the police, and the Prison Authority in the search operation.
Several air units were also allocated for reconnaissance work, and moreover forces deployed in the occupied West Bank are also participating in the search operations.
The tunnel that extended from inside the prison to a dirt road nearby shows that the process of digging it took a long time.
