Security authorities in the Gaza Strip announced the escape of a dangerous security inmate Abdel Karim Shaban Abdel Karim Abu Odeh (35 years) from the Internal Security Forces’ prison.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that "Abu Odeh is a collaborator of Israeli occupation and a former member of the Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades (IQB)”.

“The Israeli occupation hired him to uncover Al-Qassam’s tunnel network in Beit Hanoun," added our reporter.

The authorities have taken all necessary measures including mobilizing forces and activating fixed and mobile checkpoints. 

The authorities also urged those who knew him to report immediately, stating that those who report will be rewarded and threatening to penalize anyone who cooperates with him.

Following Abu Odeh's escape, Gaza City witnessed a complete closure of fishing and marine navigation due to a government decision, with security personnel deployed on the Strip's borders and crossroads.
