'The escaped terrorists may be anywhere in Israel'

 

srael Police Operations Directorate officer Avi Biton on Monday warned that the six terrorists who escaped the Gilboa Prison may be anywhere in Israel, Maariv reported.

"I don't know if the six prisoners are together or if they split up," Maariv quoted Biton as saying. "From our perspective, all scenarios are possible."

He added that in the situational assessment conducted by himself and the Israel Police Commissioner, we have several working assumptions. We don't have an intelligence picture, but our worst-case working assumption is that they are all sentenced to life in prison for acts which harm civilians. We understand that there is potential here for a terrorist attack or a largescale attack.
