Israel - Benny Sela is still at larger

Local News:
The runaway rapist, Benny Sela, is still at large.
The Israeli police still have no lead regarding the whereabouts of the fugitive rapist, Benny Sela.
Despite record high deplyment and activity, and massive public participation, Benny Sela, who escaped over a week ago in Tel-Aviv, is still at large.
Benny Sela was convicted for multiple rapes six years ago and was serving a 35 years sentence when he made his getaway in what is surely the Israeli police's lowest moment.
Sela made his escape by forging a hearing for himself in the Labor court. When he was taken there, escorted by two officers only, he was able to get away by jumping the fence of the court's parking lot.
Sightings of Sela were reported by many citizens and in many areas of Israel, but still no conclusive progress.
