<p style="font-size:10pt;">SALFIT, (PIC)&#8211; Hamas MPs in Salfit  say the arrest of their office director was intended to harm the  operation of the Palestinian Legislative Council.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israel arrested Tuesday Izzuddin Fattash,  who directs the PLC office in the West Bank city of Salfit, after a  destructive raid on his home.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">A statement by the PLC members says  Israeli arrests will not discourage them from serving the people who  chose them in fair elections.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The arrest was part of Israel&#8217;s targeting  of Palestinian officials, their families and workers, a statement by the  PLC&#8217;s Change and Reform bloc says.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The targeting of MPs will fail as the  people embrace the figures they have elected and those representatives  hold fast to Palestinian rights without retreat, the statement adds.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Fattash was held by the West Bank-governing Fatah party only a month back.</p>
