Witnesses observed an Israeli reconnaissance plane flying at a low altitude in the sky of Jenin and its camp since dawn on Saturday.
On September 6, 6 Palestinian prisoners, all from Jenin governorate, escaped from Gilboa prison in northern Israel, through a tunnel dug from their cell to the outside of the prison, which caused embarrassment to the Israeli security establishment.
The occupation forces re-arrested 4 of the six escaped prisoners on Friday and Saturday of last week.
Since the escape from Gilboa prison, Israel has sent thousands of members of the security services, special forces, and vigilantes. It has also used drones and advanced technology in the search for prisoners.
Two days ago, Israeli police sources said that the cost of searching for prisoners is the highest in Israel's history, as it exceeded $30 million, and the daily cost of the search process was between $3-6 million.
