PA arrests 108 Hamas members in West Bank
[IsraelTimes] Terror group accuses Abbas forces of working for Israel, says it won't stop attacks against IsraelisPaleostinian Authority forces tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... 108 Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, members in the West Bank in one of the biggest raids in years. According to reports in Hamas-affiliated media, the raids began early Thursday morning and continued overnight Thursday-Friday. The arrests included senior Hamas officials, according to the reports. The raids were conducted in Hebron, Nablus and Bethlehem, Walla News reported. Hamas front man Husam Badran told the Palinfo news site that the "crazy" security measures undertaken by Paleostinian Authority forces against Hamas in the West Bank were meant to stop the recent spate of deadly Paleostinian attacks against Israelis. He accused Paleostinian security forces of working for Israel and said the group holds Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... personally responsible for the "persecution and terror" applied by his forces. Hamas will continue attacks against Israelis in the West Bank, he said. Badran also called on all factions to unite against PA measures, "which are tearing at the fabric of the Paleostinian people. "It is our right to use all means to stop the crimes against our senior members in the West Bank," he was quoted as saying. A front man for the Paleostinian Authority security services, Adnan Dameri, said "We will not let Hamas undermine our security and draw our country to bloodshed, we will not let Hamas carry out attacks in the West Bank." The arrests were part of one of the biggest mass raids since 2007 when Hamas violently ousted forces loyal to Abbas from Gazoo, leaving him governing just parts of the West Bank. There has been a sharp uptick in violent attacks against Israelis in recent weeks. At least one of the Paleostinian assailants in the spate of attacks was said to be affiliated with Hamas. On Tuesday, 25-year-old Malachy Moshe Rosenfeld died of wounds sustained a day earlier in a shooting attack in the West Bank. Last Sunday a Paleostinian man stabbed and seriously injured a female Israeli Border Police officer outside Jerusalem's Damascus Gate. The assailant, said to be a Hamas member or sympathizer, was shot and captured. Last Friday a Paleostinian assailant was shot and killed by IDF soldiers after he opened fire on Israeli troops at a checkpoint in the West Bank. No soldiers were maimed in the attack. On June 19, a 25-year-old Israeli man, Danny Gonen, died after being shot near the settlement of Dolev, northwest of Jerusalem.
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... overnight, "intended to carry out attacks against the Paleostinian Authority (PA)," the official said, without elaborating. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-07-04 |
