Palestinian security forces raided the office of a Hamas legislator in the West Bank on Monday, in an ongoing crackdown against the Islamist group. Samira al-Halayka of Hamas' Change and Reform bloc said security forces seized computers and documents and arrested her guard.
A security official in the West Bank city of Hebron said officers confiscated leaflets and other documents that he said incited violence against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.
Abbas has recently stepped up a campaign against Hamas Islamists in the West Bank city, arresting some 15 activists and closing down four organizations which Hamas said were purely charitable.
