History
Several female prison guards have alleged that they were sexually assaulted by Palestinian prisoners with the knowledge of their supervisors.[1] The prison's former commander and intelligence officer were charged with failing to report and prevent sexual abuse of 4 female prison guards.[2]
On 6 September 2021 it was the scene of the Gilboa Prison break, an escape by six Palestinian militants: Zakaria Zubeidi of the Al-Aqsa Brigades and Mahmoud Abdullah Ardah, Mohammed Qassem Ardah, Yaqoub Mahmoud Qadri, Ayham Nayef Kamamji and Monadel Yacoub Nafe’at from Islamic Jihad.[3][4] By 19 September all of the six escapees had been recaptured by Israeli forces.
