Palestinians awoke July 3 to the news of a sudden and wide-scale arrest campaign launched by the Palestinian security apparatus against hundreds of Hamas members and cadres in the West Bank. The campaign has been ongoing for around two weeks as of this writing and has been targeting the cities of Tulkarm, Salfit, Hebron, Bethlehem and Nablus.
Hamas published July 14 a list of the names of 250 Hamas members who have been detained in Palestinian prisons since the beginning of the arrest campaign.
