The Zionist police have discovered a four-meter tunnel inside a prison in northern Occupied Territories, Zionist daily Yediot Aharonot reported Friday.

The tunnel was discovered in a cell bathroom in the Shita prison during a major search, the daily said.

The search was initiated after prison officials received information about a potential attack on guards, according to the Zionist paper.

The cell in which the tunnel was found housed prisoners – some serving life sentences.

Around 5000 Palestinians continue to languish in more than 20 detention facilities throughout the occupation entity, according to a report by the Prisoners Center for Studies and Research, a Palestinian NGO.
