The escape of 6 terrorists from the Gilboa Prison – about an hour or so from here last night was so simple and stupid on the part of the prison itself (that was  built in a hurry on porous ground in 2004 and therefore raised on short stilts so easily dug up, with no slurry wall to prevent tunnels through the external wall to the main road)  the police (who transmitted the information of the witness who noticed the prisoners loose on the main road but apparently waited for the prison to act on it) and of course the terrorists themselves.

They are actually the ones who bother me – that they will manage not only to cause some serious damage to numerous civilians, but they will inspire others to kill and kill and kill.

The worst part of it is the distrust it raises in both populations.

I had been planning to go to a nearby village for lunch tomorrow,
