Last update - 09:10 04/05/2008 Report: IDF arrested 363 Palestinians in West Bank in April By DPA Tags: Israel, IDF, Gaza  The Israel Defense Forces arrested 363 Palestinians in the West Bank during April, a Palestinian report revealed Saturday. Most of the arrests were in the city of Nablus, where the army arrested 128 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Center for Prisoners' Defense. The IDF declined to confirm or deny the report. Israeli forces regularly raid West Bank cities and villages, searching for wanted Palestinian militants. Advertisement The report said the latest arrests did not appear to target a specific age or category and "had included all Palestinian citizens." It added that the IDF soldiers used police dogs and beat the prisoners during the raids. The West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and run by security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Meanwhile, pro-Abbas forces arrested 80 rival Hamas members in April, according to a separate report, released by the militant Hamas movement. "The Palestinian security services rotate roles with the Israeli army forces in the detentions," Hamas said in a statement faxed to the media. Hamas also accused the acting government, led by Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, of taking part in the crackdown against its partisans and supporters. The crackdown on Hamas started when the Islamic movement took over the Gaza Strip by force last June, ousting Abbas' Fatah movement Bookmark to del.icio.us   Shimon goes green Peres says to fight terror Israel should reduce its dependence on oil.
