Israeli forces on Tuesday, 4 Cheshvan entered the PA (Palestinian Authority) community of Bituniya in the Ramallah district, arresting area Hamas leader Hassan Yousef, his son, and �three other senior Hamas officials�.

The sheikh was released from an Israeli prison about two months ago after serving a six month sentence. His release was a result of prison overcrowding. Following his release, he bragged regarding his role in bringing about the release of Gilad Shalit.
