ISRAEL CAPTURES HAMAS COMMANDER


RAMALLAH [MENL] -- Israel has captured and killed Palestinian insurgency commanders in the West Bank.

Israel's military captured 12 Palestinian fugitives in the West Bank over the weekend, including a Hamas commander. The commander was identified as Rami Abdul Latif Tayah, 26, who led Hamas's military wing in the West Bank city of Tulkarm.

Tayah was accused of being linked to a suicide bombing in an Israeli hotel in Netanya in 2002 in which 30 people were killed. The bombing prompted an Israeli invasion of Palestinian cities in the West Bank.

Israeli military sources said Tayah was also responsible for recruiting Hamas members and forming Hamas suicide and other armed cells. They said Tayah coordinated with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and maintained contact with Hamas in Jenin, Nablus and in the southern West Bank.
