RAMALLAH - The Israeli army has detained more than 10 ministers and lawmakers of the Hamas-led Palestinian government in an overnight raid in the West Bank, Palestinian security officials said.
Deputy prime minister Nasser al-Shaher and the minister of religious affairs, Nasser Nayef Rajoub, were among those arrested early Thursday in the Israeli raids, which targeted a building in Ramallah where ministers had gathered for the night, as well as sites in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, the sources said.
