Israel detains 117 Hamas members
117 members of Hamas were arrested by Israeli security forces in the latest detention operation in the West Bank, according to a statement released on Monday by Israel's internal secret service, the Shin Bet.
The men reportedly belonged to three separate divisions of Hamas in the West Bank in and around the towns of Hebron and Ramallah.
According to Israeli sources, the men were responsible for a series of attacks against Israelis, including the kidnap and killing of Nuriel Sasson outside of Jerusalem in September, and the bombing of a bus station in southern Israel in August which killed six Israelis.
Thirty-five were arrested in Dahariya, south of Hebron, while fifty-nine were arrested in Shuyukh, north of Hebron. 23 others were arrested at an undisclosed location.
