Indictments were filed in the Samaria Military Court yesterday against Ihab Salameh and 'Abd al-Rahman Abu Jafar, who are accused of aiding two of the terrorists who escaped from Gilboa Prison on Rosh Hashanah and were arrested by security forces in Jenin.
According to the indictments, Ihab drove the fugitives to the Jenin refugee camp and located a place for them to stay. Abu Jaafar hosted the fugitives in his house for a short time (about half an hour), and checked the surroundings of his house to make sure there were no security forces in the area, to allow the fugitives to continue their flight. About half an hour after the fugitives arrived at Abu Jafar's house, security forces surrounded the house and arrested the fugitives and the accused.
Upon filing the indictments, the military prosecution sought the detention of the defendants until the end of the legal proceedings in their case.
