Israel arrests five students from Hamas

Palestinian Student Union said today that Israeli security forces arrested five student activists from the Hamas movement.

It added that the five students, who study at the engineering institute in El-Nagah University in Napoli in the northern West Bank, were coming from Tulkarm city when they were arrested at the barrier by the Israeli Army, and that four of them are from Tulkarm city, while the fifth is from El-Tiba city near the green line that separates Israel and the West Bank.

Candidates in Hamas achieved a massive victory in the student elections that took place in 1998 at El-Nagah University.
