A rusty spoon, patience and courage are all you need to escape a highly secure Israel jail. This has been done by 6 Palestinians who have escaped through a tunnel (Gilboa prison) which they dug using just a spoon.
Out of six prisoners, the prominent one is Zakaria Zubeidi, a commander in the resistance wing of the Palestinian political party and the other five are all reported to be members of the resistance group, CNN reported.
The very dramatic escape has caused an outrageousness in International media, Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that its a “grave incident” that required maximum effort by Israel’s security authorities.
Palestinians celebrated this as a victory and Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah (President of Palestine) praised the escape and called it “the victory tunnel”, a popular term indeed. A group that controls the Gaza strip “Hamas” also celebrated and called it a “real defeat” for Israel’s security system.
Israeli media reports said the escapees might have already returned to the West Bank. Palestine is an occupied territory by Israel since 1967 and thus their celebration is understandable.
Many people are recalling an escape movie “Shawshank redemption”, in which the main character used a small hammer and dug a tunnel for 20 years and escaped. The funny part is that it was an American movie. So what do we call it? Snake biting its tail?
