Palestinian security forces arrested 10 members of the Islamic Jihad
in the Jenin refugee camp on Monday, a local leader of the radical
movement said.
Ghassan Sa´adi, head of the Islamic Jihad in the Jenin refugee camp,
located in the occupied West Bank, told AFP he did not know why they
had been detained.
Palestinian security officials confirmed the arrests, but refused to
provide further details.
Islamic Jihad believes in armed struggle against Israel and enjoys
more freedom in Hamas-run Gaza Strip than in the West Bank, which is
run by the Western-backed Palestinian Authority.
