Israeli security forces have arrested 11 students from An-Najah National University in Nablus who are suspected of supporting the Hamas terror group on campus, a military spokesperson says.
According to the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic-language spokesman, the 11 suspects were members of the university’s Islamic Bloc, a Hamas-affiliated organization that exists on many Palestinian campuses.
The spokesman, Lt. Col. Avihay Adraee, says the students are suspected of transferring funds to Hamas, organizing pro-Hamas rallies and spreading propaganda for the terror group “under the supervision and guidance of senior Hamas officials.”
Adraee says the arrests were conducted by the IDF and Shin Bet security service in recent weeks.
