The AFP, as is often the case, isn't providing very good coverage, but the news itself is important to note:
The Israeli army on Monday rearrested Hamas lawmaker Mohammed Jamal al-Natsh, five months after he was released from prison, Palestinian security officials said.And the Hamas officials should be kept locked away, because they're hell-bent on Israel's destruction, and it helps in the war on terrorism.
Natsh, 53, was arrested in the West Bank town of Hebron.
He spent eight years in detention, Palestinian officials said, during which time he ran elected for office.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said Natsh was rearrested "because he's a Hamas activist," but did not elaborate.
Israel has in recent months begun rearresting dozens of Palestinian MPs with the Islamist movement Hamas who were first detained in 2006 after Gaza militants seized Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
