RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- US-trained PA security forces of Fatah leader and former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank continued the frenzied arrest campaign in the ranks of Hamas supports across the West Bank despite the deep wound in Gaza Strip.
According to local sources and eyewitnesses, Abbas's forces arrested nearly 61 Hamas's sympathizers in different parts of the West Bank since the end of the 23-day Israeli occupation aggression on Gaza.
Most of the arrestees were university students, professors, PA officials, and lawyers, in addition to former captives in Israeli jails. Most of the arrests took place in Al-Khalil governorate, which is a stronghold for Hamas, in addition to other West Bank cities.
According to human rights and local records, there were more than 600 Hamas political prisoners retained in Abbas's jails out of more than 3500 arrested at the hand of those forces since Hamas took control of Gaza Strip.
