Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti arrested in Ramallah


West Bank Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti was arrested Monday in Ramallah by an elite IDF unit. IDF sources confirmed that Barghouti had been arrested.

Israel was on a manhunt for the Tanzim head since the start of West Bank military operations on March 29. The efforts began with an attempt to capture him in a Palestinian security installation in the West Bank town of Beitounia, but Barghouti managed to escape.

In recent days the IDF carried out intense search efforts for the Fatah leader.
