Zionist Occupation Israel Rearrests West Bank Hamas Leader Hassan Yusef

Once again, Zionist Occupation Israel rearrested Hamas top leader in the West Bank Hassan Yusef, just weeks after releasing him from jail.

A Hamas source told AFP that Yusef was detained on Wednesday night as he tried to cross a checkpoint between the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Nablus.

Later on, the Zionist Occupation Israeli military confirmed it had detained Yusef, but declined to give any additional details.

Yusef was released from prison on August 4 after serving a six-year term for “membership of a terrorist organization.” He was freed as part of a mass release of Zionist Occupation Israeli and Palestinian prisoners due to overcrowding. He had six weeks left of his sentence.

Yusef worked in the public political wing of the movement. He was elected to the Palestinian parliament in 2006, while in Zionist Occupation Israeli custody.
