Official PA Daily romanticizes “heroic escape” of fugitive terrorist murderers from Israeli prison, recounting their glorious "taste of freedom"
Headline: “On the path – a nest of doves, a pomegranate, hawthorn, and a wedding party”
“In the first hours and days of the heroic escape of the six prisoners who achieved their freedom from Gilboa Prison in the early morning hours of Sept. 6 [2021] (see note below -Ed.), the Israeli Security Agency thought that they were liable to carry out armed operations (i.e., terror attacks) and increased its presence on the Palestinian-Jordanian and Palestinian-Lebanese borders (sic., Israeli-Jordanian and Israeli-Lebanese) out of a concern that they would leave Palestine, but these prisoners were busy exploring the land and tasting its flavors.
On the 19th anniversary of his arrest, Yaqub Qaderi (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 person along with an accomplice), one of the heroes of liberation, told the lawyer of the [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs interesting details about the five days he spent with Mahmoud Ardah (i.e., terrorist, involved in the murder of 3 people), who has served 26 years in the occupation’s prisons until now.
It is clear from Qaderi’s story that the first moments and hours of liberation were the opposite of our great fear about them. Even though all the occupation army forces, media, and technology were mobilized to search for them, they walked through the fields and villages, albeit with great caution, tasted the fruits they came across, got tired and later rested, and went entire nights towards more secure places, and despite all the dangers that were before them, they were happy during those days when they got to know the taste of freedom.”

2021 Gilboa Prison escape – 6 Palestinian terrorist prisoners escaped from Israel's Gilboa Prison on Sept. 6, 2021, by widening the hole of the shower drainpipe in the floor of their cell. One terrorist is from Fatah - Zakariya Zubeidi, and the other five are from Islamic Jihad - Ayham Kamamji, Muhammad Ardah, Mahmoud Ardah, Yaqub Qaderi, and Munadil Nafiyat. Four of the terrorists were recaptured after five days: Zubeidi, Ardah, Ardah, and Qaderi. Kamamji and Nafiyat were arrested in Jenin on Sept. 18, 2021 along with two accomplices. Zubeidi was head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (Fatah's military wing) in the Jenin area during the PA terror campaign (the second Intifada, 2000-2005), when he oversaw numerous lethal attacks, and he also carried out shooting attacks in 2018-2019. Kamamji participated in the murder of 18-year-old Eliyahu Asheri on June 25, 2006, and planned to blow up a bus using an exploding car. Muhammad Ardah participated in initiating and executing a suicide bombing on bus no. 823 on Nov. 29, 2001, in which 3 people were murdered and many others were wounded. Mahmoud Ardah was involved in numerous attacks; the website of Islamic Jihad’s military wing defined him as the "commander" of the prison escape. Qaderi committed a shooting attack on Sept. 18, 2002 with an accomplice in which Israeli Yosef Ajami was murdered and a foreign worker was wounded. Nafiyat was being held in administrative detention.
