The Arabic-language spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces says the military arrested several Hamas activists in the Ramallah area yesterday, charging them with being in contact with a senior member in the Gaza Strip.
According to Avichay Adraee, the suspects were in contact with Khaled Najjar, who heads the so-called Ramallah Committee, which is the terror group’s unit for coordinating operations in the West Bank, from Gaza.
Adraee says the suspects were directed by Najjar to conduct terror activities for Hamas in the West Bank.
It is not clear how many suspects were detained.
