Israeli troops raided the West Bank city of Ramallah on Sunday and arrested a Hamas lawmaker, the latest move in Israel's two-month crackdown on the militant group.
Israel had already arrested 30 Hamas lawmakers in the West Bank and five of the group's Cabinet ministers after Hamas-linked militants in the Gaza Strip attacked an army post in Israel on July 12 and kidnapped an Israeli soldier.
In addition to the arrests, Israel also launched a widescale offensive in Gaza. About 10 army jeeps surrounded lawmaker Mahmoud Musleh's house in Ramallah on Sunday, and soldiers entered and arrested him, according to his daughter and Palestinian security officials. The army confirmed the arrest. |
