HeadlineSep 27, 2005

Israel arrested 82 more Palestinians today in the West Bank–raising the total number arrested this week to almost 300. Hamas leaders allege that Israel is targeting its political leaders and that key candidates for Palestinian elections in January were among those rounded up. Israel also continued bombing raids in Gaza. Israel said the actions were needed after Palestinian groups fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel over the weekend.
