Israel arrests sisters of Hamas official killed in Beirut: Wafa
Israeli forces have arrested Dalal and Fatima Al-Arouri, the sisters of Saleh Al-Arouri, the senior Hamas official killed in Beirut on January 2, the Wafa news agency is reporting, citing local sources.
The two sisters were among several people arrested during Israeli raids on towns in Ramallah and el-Bireh in the occupied West Bank that took place at dawn on Sunday, Wafa added.
