Hamas says group's lawmaker arrested in West Bank

None

The Palestinian militant Hamas group says the IDF has arrested one of its lawmakers in the West Bank. A Hamas official says Hathem Qufishe was arrested early Monday at his home in the city of Hebron.

 

The IDF had no comment on the arrest. Qufishe was recently released from an Israeli prison after more than three years. He was among dozens of Hamas officials arrested after Hamas-affiliated militants captured soldier Sgt. Gilad Shalit in June 2006. (AP)
