By Avi Issacharoff and Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondents and News Agencies
Israel has expanded its military operation against the Hamas-led government in the Palestinian Authority by embarking on mass arrests of senior Hamas officials before dawn Thursday.
Israel Defense Forces troops launched early Thursday a major arrest operation against Hamas officials, detaining 64 of the ruling militant group's ministers and parliamentarians in the West Bank and 23 military operatives.
The arrests took place in Ramallah, Qalqilyah, Hebron, Jenin and East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian reports.

They're picking 'em up by the busload, good!
Bush will no doubt tell Israel to release these Pali leaders. I wish Bush and the rest of his administration wouldn't support the Pali terroists and stand up for Israel instead.
It looks like they are intent on picking up as much of the Hammas government as they can and then what? Put them on trial?
send them to Gitmo..
just kidding..
...
As to trying them, maybe , but where? and by who?
They ought to go to the Hague
(har har)
Exactly, the slime media is waging propaganda. The largest IDF Navy ships are missle corvettes otherwise known as missle cruisers. The IDF has never had a battleship, but did have destroyers in the early years.

In order to have a humanitarian crisis, you need humans.
Tell ya what.
You a-holes stop DIGGING TUNNELS UNDER A HUGE PERIMETER WALL so you can SCREW WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE LEAVING YOU ALONE, and maybe we'll think about not blowing up your Duracel factory next.
