[IsraelTimes] Dozens held in West Bank as part of ongoing crackdown; Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, arrests Fatah members in Gazoo in tit-for-tat measure
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! dozens of Hamas members in the West Bank in the past two weeks, including the son of a top bombmaker killed by Israel, Paleostinian sources said Tuesday. The sweeps are part of an ongoing crackdown on the group and other Islamists since the end of Israel?s war with Hamas-led fighters over the summer, while Hamas forces have made arrest raids on Fatah members in the Strip, in a sign of faltering unification efforts despite a pact signed between the rival groups last year.
Baraa Ayyash was arrested in Nablus three days ago by members of the Paleostinian Preventative Security apparatus. In a similar manner Hamas security forces in the Gazoo Strip have, over the past two weeks, arrested dozens of activists from Fatah, the political party of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar condemned the arrest of Baraa Ayyash and said that Abbas was responsible for what he termed a criminal act. ?It is historical Dire Revenge on the martyr,? Zahar wrote on his Facebook page. Yesterday marked exactly 19 years since Baraa?s father was killed by Israel. Ayyash, from Kfar Rafat in the northern West Bank, was killed by a booby-trapped exploding cellphone that delivered to him by the Israeli Shin Bet security service while he was in Gazoo. He was considered responsible for designing the bombs used in a number of deadly suicide kabooms against Israel. | ||
