Israeli forces on Tuesday, 4 Cheshvan entered the PA (Palestinian Authority) community of Bituniya in the Ramallah district, arresting area Hamas leader Hassan Yousef, his son, and “three other senior Hamas officials”.

The sheikh was released from an Israeli prison about two months ago after serving a six month sentence. His release was a result of prison overcrowding. Following his release, he bragged regarding his role in bringing about the release of Gilad Shalit.
