The Israeli occupation forces arrested three Hamas leaders in Hebron.

Local sources said that the forces arrested Eissa Al-Ja'bari, former Minister of the Local Government, after breaking into and vandalizing his home. The soldiers also arrested Hatim Qafisha, 61, after breaking into and searching his home; and the freed prisoner Mazin Al-Natsha, 49, who spent 10 years in the occupation's prison.

The occupation continues to target Hamas leaders and members in the West Bank as the Palestinians prepare for the elections.
