TULKAREM, (PIC)-- Militias loyal to former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas kidnapped Sheikh Abdullah Yassin, one of Hamas's prominent leaders in Tulkarem, on his way out of his home on Saturday.
The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) had released Yassin only last Wednesday after 34 months in administrative custody.
Sheikh Yassin is one of the notable figures in the city and a member of the association of Palestine religious scholars in addition to his membership in other religious societies and represented Hamas in the committee of national and Islamic forces.
Abbas's militias rounded up six Hamas supporters in the districts of Tulkarem, Ramallah and Nablus, according to a Hamas statement in the West Bank on Sunday.
It noted that those militias kidnapped Amer Shehade minutes after his release from IOA jails where he was held for 42 months along with two liberated prisoners in the same city of Tulkarem.
Two others were rounded up in Nablus and Ramallah, one of them a 50-year-old man.
