- Ismail Haniyeh's Sister Arrested in Israel
The Israeli police announced on Monday that they had arrested the sister of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Israel, where she lives, as part of a "terrorism" investigation by the police and Shin Bet (internal security).
Sabah Abdel Salam Haniyeh, 57, an Israeli citizen, is "suspected of having contacts with Hamas operatives and identifying herself with the organization, while inciting and supporting acts of terrorism in Israel", a police spokesman told AFP.
During a search of the suspect's house in Tel-Sheva, in the south of the country, police said they discovered documents, telephones and "evidence (showing that she is) linked to the commission of serious offences against the security of the State of Israel", according to the same source.
