IDF Re-arrests Hamas Members Freed by PA
(Ha'aretz) The IDF raided Hebron Friday to re-arrest six Hamas members that the Palestinian Authority had released the day before. The PA had taken the six into custody in September after four Israelis were killed and two injured in two separate shooting attacks in the West Bank. Hamas took responsibility for both shootings, one of which occurred on the eve of the start of direct Palestinian-Israeli negotiations in Washington. During the arrest raid, a 65-year-old Palestinian civilian was killed in a building the soldiers had raided to arrest one of the Hamas members.
