Hamas lawmaker rearrested by Israel, says prisoners group

Israel rearrested a Palestinian parliamentarian from the Hamas terrorist group, the Palestinian Prisoners Club says.

Omar Abdul Razek, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was arrested by Israeli forces in the town of Salfit in the northern West Bank overnight, the group says in a statement.

There was no immediate confirmation from Israeli officials, with the Shin Bet security agency denying it had made arrests overnight. The army declined to comment on specific cases.
