Hamas arrested Fatah spokesman Hazem Abu Shanab on Monday as relations between the two rival factions continued to be tense. Hamas rounded up nearly 200 Fatah supporters and terrorists two weeks ago, and Fatah retaliated with similar arrests in Judea and Samaria.
Both sides released most of those taken into custody, but Fatah has dismissed approximately 1,000 policemen suspected of being members of Hamas.
