Last two Palestinian Gilboa prison break escapees recaptured

The Zionist forces have recaptured the last two Palestinian escapees involved in a spectacular jail break earlier this month, it announced Sunday.
 

At the beginning of September, six Palestinian captives escaped Gilboa prison in Israel's north, through a tunnel dug under a sink in a cell, reportedly using tools including a spoon.
 

Israel launched a massive manhunt, deploying drones, road checkpoints and pouring troops into the occupied West Bank.  

Authorities had already arrested four of the six, and in a tweet on Sunday, said the last two had surrendered "after being surrounded by security forces that acted precisely based on accurate intelligence".

The men, 35-year-old Ayham Kamamji and 26-year-old Munadel Infeiat, are both members of Islamic Jihad, an armed Palestinian Islamist movement.

They were arrested in Jenin, in the West Bank, the army said in a short statement to the press, adding that they were "currently being interrogated". 

Originally from Kafr Dan, near Jenin, Kamamji was arrested in 2006 and jailed for life for the alleged kidnap and murder of an Israeli settler.

The other four men recaptured last week included Mahmoud Abdullah Ardah, the alleged mastermind of the escape, and Zakaria Zubeidi, a former military leader of the Fatah movement.

Lawyers for two captured Palestinian jail-breakers have stressed that their clients have faced torture and abuse since being recaptured by Israeli police.
