The IDF confirms troops operating in the West Bank arrested two sisters of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri, who was allegedly assassinated by Israel in Lebanon earlier this month.
Dalal and Fatima were detained in separate raids in ‘Arura, al-Arouri’s hometown, and al-Bireh, both near Ramallah.
The IDF says they were arrested for “inciting terror against the State of Israel.”
Another 12 wanted Palestinians were detained in overnight raids across the West Bank, the IDF says.
Since October 7, troops have arrested more than 2,650 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,300 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 300 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time.
