Al-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped at dawn Tuesday Hamas lawmaker Mohamed Al-Tal after a violent raid on his home in the occupied city of Al-Khalil. Parliamentary sources told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that a large number of Israeli troops encircled the house of MP Tal before storming and ransacking it and then they rounded him up. MP Tal is the fourth lawmaker who was kidnapped for the second time by the IOF. For its part, the international campaign for the release of lawmakers warned of Israeli intents to kidnap anew the MPs affiliated with Hamas and called on the international community to break its silence towards the violations committed by Israel against them. The campaign urged all parliamentarians around the world to stand by their Palestinian counterparts whose parliamentary immunity is being violated by Israel and called on human rights organizations to internationalize these violations and work on filing lawsuits against Israel. For their part, Hamas MPs in the West Bank expressed deep concern and anger at the detention of MP Tal once again. They charged that the act was in line with Israel's incessant attempts to paralyze the Palestinian legislative council, vowing that the policy would not change their insistence on defending national constants to which they were elected to protect.
