a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, parliamentarian from a village outside Hebron early Thursday morning, the Shin Bet security service said.
Samira Halayka was picked up by the Israel Defense Forces from her home in al-Shuyukh, northeast of Hebron, as part of a series of overnight raids across the West Bank,
Four other alleged Hamas members were also arrested early Thursday morning, three of them in Tulkarem and one in Rafat, the IDF said.
Halayka is the latest high-ranking Hamas official to be picked up by the army in recent days. On Monday, two other Hamas members of the Paleostinian parliament -- Anwar Zabun and Khaled Tafesh -- were arrested, along with Ghassan Hermas, a professor at al-Quds University in nearby Abu Dis.
The Shin Bet confirmed that Halayka had been arrested, but would not say what she was suspected of doing.
"At the end of her interrogation, we will be able to elaborate," the security agency said.
The Border Police said it had also arrested a 30-year-old Paleostinian suspect after finding two illegally owned rifles and ammunition in Tulkarem.
Another Paleostinian man was also arrested by border guards in Hebron, after they found an M-16 assault rifle in his possession, police said.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, IDF troops arrested three Paleostinians suspected of throwing rocks at vehicles on West Bank roads and taking part in violent protests against Israeli troops.
Two were arrested in Qalandiya and the third was picked up in Qatana, the army said.
