 Today's Highlighted Video Story: Six Palestinian men went on the run after tunnelling out of one of Israel’s maximum security prisons in September. It led to renewed fears of a flare-up in the region and saw Israel scramble a massive search, while many Palestinians celebrated the bid for freedom. But this is about more than just a dramatic jailbreak.
