Israeli soldiers kidnaped on Wednesday evening Palestinian legislator Sheikh Hasan Yousef of Hamas, at the Za’tara roadblock, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the West Bank. Yousef was only released a few days ago after spending six years in Israeli prisons.

Yousef was heading back home when the soldiers stopped him at the roadblock, and detained him for several hours before arresting him and taking him to an unknown destination.

Dr. Ahmad Bahar, deputy head of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), denounced the arrest of Yousef, and stated that the Israeli policy of kidnapping the elected legislators and officials will not succeed in deterring the Palestinians from pursuing their legitimate rights of liberation and independence.

It is worth mentioning that Yousef spent six years in Israeli prisons, and this latest arrest comes a few days after he was released.
