Last night, they also arrested one of the leaders of the Hamas terrorist group, Hassan Yusef.
He was arrested near Ramallah.
An IDF spokesman confirmed: "During the night, forces of the army and the Shin Bet arrested Hassan Yusef, a Hamas leader, in Beitunia, south west of Ramallah.”
Yusef – who was nominated to represent Hamas while he was in jail in 2005 - has been a leading figure in the terrorist group since the Second Intifada. He was first arrested by Israeli authorities in 1993.
