Hamas man freed by PA, arrested by Israel over 2010 attack

Israeli forces have arrested a Hamas man wanted for carrying out a shooting attack in the West Bank in 2010.

Ataf al-Salahi was arrested by the Palestinian security service shortly after the attack, in which two Israelis were injured, but was freed earlier today and soon after rounded up by Israel, according to a Shin Bet statement.

Salahi, a resident of Silwad near Ramallah, shot at an Israeli car at the nearby Rimonim Junction on September 1, 2010, according to the Shin Bet.

He is to be questioned, the agency says.
