NABLUS, (PIC)-- Mahmoud Abbas’s militias during the last two days kidnapped five Palestinian citizens thought to be affiliated with Hamas and issued tens of summonses against others in Nablus, Al-Khalil and Bethlehem.

Different Palestinian local sources said that the five citizens were kidnapped during raids on their homes or after they were summoned.

Abbas’s militias also summoned, according to these sources, more than 250 men and women affiliated with Hamas in two days in Al-Khalil and Nablus.

In a related context, these militias stormed the village of Idna in Al-Khalil in search for a Palestinian citizen who escaped from prison called Louay Abu Juhaisha, a former policeman who was fired by the Palestinian Authority (PA) because of his affiliation with Hamas.
 
For its part, Abbas’s unconstitutional government fired two Palestinian teachers in Qalqiliya and Tulkarem because of their political affiliation.

A separate local source told the Palestinian information center (PIC) on Tuesday that Abbas’s militias summoned more than 350 Palestinian citizens affiliated with Hamas during one week only in the city of Nablus.

The source added that among those who were summoned a number of women and social elites such as academics, teachers, engineers, students and businessmen, noting that the summoned people are detained from eight o’clock in the morning to five in the evening every day and during their presence they are interrogated, humiliated and physically assaulted.

For its part, the Hamas student bloc strongly denounced Abbas’s militias for storming the mosques of female students at the university of Polytechnic and imposing tight security measures in Al-Khalil prior to the arrival of Abbas in the city.

The bloc said that all Palestinian universities in the West Bank turned into a Fatah-affiliated security headquarters.
