Israel Arrests Sister of Haniyeh

Israeli police said Monday they had arrested the sister of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as part of a terror probe in southern Israel.
A police spokesman, who confirmed it was Haniyeh’s sister, said she is “suspected of having contact with Hamas operatives and identifying with the organization, while inciting and supporting acts of terrorism in Israel.”

Police said they found in the 57-year-old’s house “documents, media, telephones, other findings and evidence linking her to the commission of serious security offences against the State of Israel.”

Ismail Haniyeh, who lives in Doha, is the head of Hamas’s political bureau.
