Two of six Palestinian inmates who escaped from a high security prison in Israel this week in one of the most spectacular breakouts in the country's history were captured Friday, Israeli police said.
"Police in the northern zone captured two escaped prisoners a short while ago... in the city of Nazareth," they said in a statement.
Israeli media said police were alerted by local residents who reported seeing two men searching litter bins for food. The Israeli army has sent reinforcements to the occupied West Bank, which it placed under "general closure", with much of the focus centred on Jenin, the home of prominent escapee Zakaria Zubeidi.
Ardah, from Arraba near Jenin, was imprisoned in 1996 for attacks on Israel claimed by Islamic Jihad and was among four to receive a life sentence.
