<p>RAMALLAH, (PIC)&#8211; The Palestinian Authority security forces launched a large-scale arrest campaign against members and supporters of the Hamas Movement, and summoned many others for interrogation in different West Bank areas.</p>
<p>According to local sources, the PA security forces arrested 10 Palestinian citizens because of their political affiliation with Hamas and summoned many others, including university students and ex-detainees in Israeli jails.</p>
<p>In Ramallah, the PA intelligence agency kidnapped a student at Birzeit university named Mohamed Mousa from his home in Beit Liqya village and another young man named Munder Alawi from his home in Deir Jarir village.</p>
<p>Alawi previously spent two years in Israeli jails and was exposed to several arrests by PA security apparatuses because of his affiliation with Hamas. </p>
<p>PA preventive security forces also kidnapped journalist Mohamed Al-Kiq from outside Al-Birah Mosque in downtown Ramallah after beating him severely with fists and batons.</p>
<p>Kiq was covering events during a march organized in Ramallah last Friday when he was assaulted. He works as a reporter for Al-Majd satellite channel and was a prisoner for three years in Israeli jails. </p>
<p>In Al-Khalil, the PA intelligence agency arrested a young man named Muhannad Ashour due to his participation in a march held on Friday in the city in solidarity with Egypt and Syria.</p>
<p>The intelligence also arrested an ex-detainee in Israeli jails named Jaafar Al-Qawasmi and took him to an interrogation center in Al-Khalil city.</p>
<p>Qawasmi spent more than six years in Israeli jails and was arrested several times by the PA security apparatuses because of his affiliation with Hamas.</p>
<p>In Nablus, the PA security forces kidnapped Sayed Qawariq, 21, after a violent raid on his home in Awarta village to the south of the city.</p>
<p>The PA preventive security also kidnapped a student at Al-Najah university and a member of the Islamic student bloc named Musaab Quzah from his home in the city.</p>
<p>Sheikh Ramadan Abu Jaafar, 45, was also kidnapped by the preventive security forces as he was leaving Ebad Al-Rahman Mosque, south of the city, after he finished his prayers at dusk.  </p>
<p>In Tulkarem, the preventive security forces kidnapped another ex-detainee named Saleh Zeitawi, aged 37.</p>
<p>Zeitawi had been taken prisoner several times by the PA and Israeli security forces, and exposed to excruciating torture at the hands of PA security interrogators.</p>
<p>Several Palestinians, mostly university students, were also summoned for interrogation in different West Bank areas. Some of them refused to go for questioning.</p>
<p>Among those who received summonses and refused to be interrogated was a Palestinian lady named Iman Misk, and she is the sister of Izzuddin Misk, a martyred resistance fighter from Hamas.</p>
