The occupation forces raided the homes of the two wanted prisoners, Ayham Kammaji, 35, and Munadel Yaqoub Nafeat, 26, in Jenin, after arresting 4 of the six prisoners who escaped from Gilboa prison.

Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces raided a house in the town of Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, adjacent to the Green Line, and the house of Anfaat in the town of Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin.

Witnesses said that special units and 20 patrols surrounded the area around the two prisoners' houses, and occupied a number of nearby houses and subjected their families to investigation.

Also, at dawn today, gunmen opened fire on the occupation forces during their storming of the town of Kafrdan, in a campaign that included the town of Al-Yamoun, during which they arrested the brother of Ayham Kammaji, who had recently taken his freedom from Gilboa prison.

On September 6, 6 Palestinian prisoners escaped from the high-security Gilboa prison in northern Israel, through a tunnel dug from their cell to the outside of the prison, before 4 of them were re-arrested last Friday and Saturday.

On Saturday, the occupation forces arrested the two prisoners, Zakaria Al-Zubaidi and Muhammad Arida, hours after the arrest of Mahmoud Ardah and Yaqoub Qadri.

Earlier, Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that the Israeli Magistrate's Court in Nazareth yesterday extended the detention of the four re-arrested Palestinian prisoners until September 19, after the Public Prosecution charged them with planning a terrorist operation and belonging to a terrorist organization.

Meanwhile, a comprehensive strike yesterday paralyzed facilities, shops, schools and universities in the Jenin governorate in the northern West Bank.

Palestinian forces called for this strike as an expression of support for the prisoners who were re-arrested, and for all the prisoners in the occupation prisons.


Investigation Committee

Israel began investigating one of its biggest security failures, as a result of the prisoners' escape from Gilboa prison.

Yesterday, Sunday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced during his weekly cabinet meeting that he and Internal Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev had decided to form a government committee to investigate the escape of the six Palestinian prisoners from the high-security Gilboa prison.

Bennett strongly criticized the Prison Authority, and said that the process of escaping prisoners reveals a state of slackness in state institutions, and raises the alarm.


political movement

In the same context, the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) intends to launch a political movement at the Arab and international levels to support the issue of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, according to a meeting issued on Sunday evening.

The Central Committee of the Fatah movement held a meeting in the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday evening, and the committee confirmed the continuation of the struggle in all its forms, which contributes to preserving the lives of Palestinian prisoners, especially the four re-arrested prisoners.

As of September 6, the number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons is estimated at 4,650, including 40 women and about 200 minors, in addition to 520 administrative prisoners (without charge or trial), according to relevant Palestinian organizations.
