"Israeli" forces arrested 29 students, activists and a journalist overnight during fresh raids in the occupied West Bank, the army said on Wednesday.
A Palestinian security source confirmed that "around 30 people" had been detained in and around the northern city of Nablus, most of whom were Hamas members.
Among those arrested were university students and a journalist. Troops also confiscated computers and mobile phones, the source said.
The "Israeli" army confirmed arresting 29 people, among them senior figures within the movement and former prisoners detained for involvement in Hamas activity, in a joint operation which involved soldiers, police, border police and the Shin Bet internal security service.
"The arrests took place following an increase of Hamas activity in the Nablus area with the aim of carrying out "terror" activity against "Israel". The detainees that were involved in funding and direction of Hamas branches overseas were sent to the Shin Bet for interrogation," a statement said.
The sweep raised to 49 the number of Hamas activists arrested by the Zionist entity since April 1, the army said.
