Israeli troops picked up a political leader and an MP from the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in separate raids in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, security officials said. Troops picked up Maher al-Kharraz, a Hamas political leader, and six other wanted suspects during an operation in the northern West Bank, Palestinian security officials said. An Israeli army spokesman said six wanted operatives were detained in Nablus in the northern West Bank.In Hebron, in the south, troops arrested Hamas lawmaker Hatem Qafisheh, Palestinian security officials said. Israel had released the MP earlier this year after holding him for six months without pressing charges. In May, the United States voiced concern over Israeli arrests of 33 Hamas leaders in the West Bank, including elected government and parliament members. Last year, Israel arrested more than 60 Hamas officials in a massive crackdown after Palestinian militants captured an Israeli soldier and killed another two in a cross-border raid from the Gaza Strip. About 30 of the officials remain in detention.
