Not sure I'd call something "most secure" that can be tunneled out of. Prisoners have nothing to do 24-7 but plot escape. Lax security doesn't cut it, no matter how the prisoners are housed.
Israeli authorities have launched a manhunt after six Palestinian prisoners escaped from one of the country's most secure jails overnight.
The men are believed to have dug a hole in the floor of their cell at Gilboa prison, then crawled through a cavity and tunnelled beneath the outer wall.
Officials were alerted by farmers who noticed them running through fields.
The fugitives include a former leader of the militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade and five Islamic Jihad members.
An Israel Prison Service official described the escape as "a major security and intelligence failure". Palestinian militant groups hailed it as "heroic".
