Social media activists commented on the escape of 6 Palestinian prisoners from Gilboa Prison near the occupied city of Bisan on Monday, using the hashtag #نفق_الحرية (Freedom Tunnel), 

Al Mayadeen's Lana Medawar shared a picture mocking the similarity between the escape and academy award-winning movie The Shawshank Redemption.

What happened last night in Palestine is a great victory. At every opportunity, the Palestinians prove that their will, strength & faith are stronger than any occupation. The Zionists should know that they’ll not be safe if they don’t leave our land. #نفق_الحرية #فلسطين pic.twitter.com/tfbxwIlTUk

Amal Ali poked fun at the Israeli team observing the hole the prisoners escaped from, referencing Auguste Rodin's famous sculpture, The Thinker.
