NABLUS (Ma’an) – Israeli forces detained a Hamas-affiliated Palestinian
lawmaker early Saturday after ransacking his home in Nablus in the
northern West Bank, locals said.
Military vehicles raided the
western part of Nablus before ransacking home of 46-year-old Yasser
Mansour and detaining him. Mansour is a member of the inactive
Palestinian Legislative Council, representing Hamas.
Israeli
forces started a detention campaign against Hamas and Islamic Jihad in
the West Bank right after the military offensive against the Hamas-run
Gaza Strip during which an Israeli bus was bombed.
On Friday
Israeli forces detained at least five members of the Palestinian
parliament in the West Bank who are affiliated to Hamas, among 28
Palestinians detained in raids.
In Ramallah, soldiers detained the secretary-general of the Palestinian Legislative Council Mahmoud al-Ramahi.
MP
Basem Zairir was detained in Samua, south of Hebron, along with other
leaders in the Change and Reform party, which is affiliated to Hamas,
Nidal Oref Zairi and Jamal Yusuf Musa Abu Jaydal.
In Tulkarem, forces detained two lawmakers, Fathi Qarawi and Riyad Radid. Another MP, Emad Nofal, was seized in Qalqiliya.
A prominent Hamas figure was also detained in Bethlehem, 50-year-old Mustafa Issa Musa al-Aruj.
Prisoners
rights group Addameer said on Thursday it had documented more than 200
detentions by Israel in the West Bank since the bombardment of Gaza
started, including scores at protests against the war.
In one case, Addameer said, a man had been knocked unconscious, and was still detained by forces.
"The
arbitrary arrests of Palestinian youth is unacceptable ... We demand
the immediate release of these prisoners of conscience, and an end to
this practice," Addameer said.

Israel's Violence on Palestenians
Right to Defend itself
Israel has always cried 'holocaust' tears to the world while singing the old tune of "Defending itself and its citizens".
How do they do it? By banning or killing international journalists by bribing their supportive governments.
Palestine is destroyed as a State so is Gaza. Meanwhile the "chronically suffering Israel" has developed to a point it does not need Uncle Sam anymore, see their infrastructure, see their military development up to nuclear programs... and they are the eternal "poor" in need.
