Israeli media said police were alerted by local residents who reported seeing two men searching litter bins for food. Israel had launched a manhunt for the six prisoners who made a daring jail break Monday from the high security Gilboa prison through a tunnel dug beneath a sink in a cell. Israeli authorities had said the six jail breakers were members of armed Palestinian groups who were being held for plotting or carrying out attacks against Israelis. In Nablus, youths set tyres alight during confrontations with Israeli security forces. The prisoners' group had reported "tensions" in jails on Wednesday, and a spokeswoman for the Israeli prison authorities told AFP fires had been lit in Ktziot and Ramon jails.
