JENIN (PIC)– The PA security forces under the command of PA chief Mahmoud Abbas have unleashed on Monday a wide-scale arrest campaign targeting members and military and political leaders of the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank.
An official source in the Islamic Jihad affirmed in an interview with the PIC that Islamic Jiahd cadres Naser Bani Oudeh and Ali Bani Oudeh were arrested by the Abbas’s security forces that were still searching for Islamic Jihad cadres in Qabatia and Tammon villages.
The source also called on the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank to halt such “illegal” practices against the Palestinian resistance fighters saying that the PA security forces should protect the Palestinian resistance instead of turning themselves into agents protecting the interests of the Israeli occupation government.
During the past few days the PA security apparatuses arrested many of the Islamic Jihad cadres and killed a number of its military leaders.
Tens of hundreds of Hamas’s cadres were arrested and incarcerated in the PA jails since June of last year after Hamas took control of security in Gaza Strip.
