The Israeli army has arrested a Palestinian lawmaker at his West Bank home, his daughter told the Anadolu Agency today.
Rahma Dahbour, daughter of Palestinian Legislative Council member Ibrahim Dahbour, said Israeli soldiers arrested her father yesterday evening near the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
“They also confiscated his vehicle,” she said.
Dahbour won his seat in the 2006 Palestinian legislative polls on a Hamas-backed electoral list.
His arrest brings the total number of Palestinian lawmakers now in Israeli jails to 12.
Israel frequently arrests Palestinians on the pretext that they are “wanted” by its security services.
