The arrest was made by a joint force of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the Shin Bet security agency and police special forces based on intelligence from the Shin Bet.
“The Yamam, Shin Bet and the Haruv Reconnaissance Unit entered the city of Jenin, sealed off and surrounded the house, including gunfire around the building in which the fugitive terrorists were hiding. They came out unarmed and without resistance,” the IDF said in a statement. “The two terrorists were caught alive and were handed over for interrogation by the security forces.”
Two Palestinians who aided and sheltered Kamamji and Nafe’at were also arrested by Israeli forces in the course of the operation.

Kamamji and Nafe’at were two of six Palestinian prisoners, all detained on “terrorism” charges, who escaped from Gilboa Prison, a maximum security prison in northern Israel, on September 6 through a tunnel they dug with simple tools.

The other four escapees failed to cross into the Western Bank. All of them were arrested inside Israel. Mahmoud Ardah and Yaqoub Mahmoud Qadri were captured on the night of September 10, while Zakaria Zubeidi and Mohammed Qassem Ardah were captured early on September 11.
While the six prisoners ultimately failed to reach a safe refuge, their remarkable escape brought back attention to the cause of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.
The zionist squatters get off on arresting Palestinian children. A sick society.

I express my sorrow for the palestinian fighters, their famillies and organisations.
Because of the smart phones.
I doubt it,because those guys would have been aware of that.
Good thinking, maybe. Do you know what so called selfie camera is for? To have your face all the time.
