The Israeli occupation forces are continuing combing operations in various parts of the country to arrest the two pursued prisoners, including Kammji and Nafe’at, and the Israeli media circulated a new account about their possible locations, after the occupation forces arrested 4 others, all of whom escaped from Gilboa prison.
The Israeli Kan channel, which is affiliated with the official broadcaster, said yesterday evening, Monday, that the Israeli security services have what it called "accurate information" that one of the prisoners is currently in the occupied West Bank, while the other is still in Israel.
According to the channel, a search has been carried out since Monday morning for one of the prisoners in Marj Ben Amer (Emek Jezreel), within the borders of the city of Haifa (north).
The Israeli forces intensified combing operations in the area of the separation wall in the city of Umm al-Fahm (north) towards the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank, knowing that the distance between Umm al-Fahm and Jenin is about 25 kilometers.
The channel said that the Israeli security believes that the prisoner in Israel will try during the next few hours to cross to the West Bank.
Earlier, another Israeli account indicated that the two captives, like Mumji and Nafi'at, were able to reach the West Bank and Jenin refugee camp.
Palestinian activists warned against circulating the Israeli narrative regarding the presence of the two prisoners in Jenin and escaping behind it, because it might aim to reassure the prisoners to monitor their movements.
On September 6, 6 Palestinian prisoners escaped from the high-security Gilboa prison (in the Bisan area), through a tunnel dug from their cell to the outside of the prison, before 4 of them were re-arrested last Friday and Saturday.
The six prisoners are Zakaria al-Zubaidi, Mahmoud al-Ardah, Muhammad al-Ardah, Yaqoub Qadri, Munadil Nafi`at, and Ayham Kammji.
Developments in Jenin
Yesterday, Monday, the occupation forces raided the homes of the two prisoners, Kamji and Nafi’at, in the Jenin governorate. The Nafi’at family said that more than 30 Israeli patrols and military vehicles surrounded the house and searched it and interrogated the family members.
In the midst of this campaign, a video clip published by Palestinian media showed shooting by unknown persons at the Al-Jalama checkpoint of the occupation forces near Jenin, without clarifying the circumstances.

Meanwhile, the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority said that the Israeli Prisons Administration has implemented punitive and abusive measures against the prisoners in various detention centers during the past few days, and made it clear that these procedures are still continuing in a systematic and doubled manner.
The commission said in a statement that 1,380 prisoners in Israeli prisons will start an open hunger strike starting next Friday, in protest against the repression against them since the six prisoners managed to escape.
