The Israeli occupation forces arrested Thursday morning the Palestinian Legislative Council member and a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Khaleda Jarrar, from her home in Ramallah, several months after her release, her daughter said.
"The Israeli forces carried out a campaign of arrests on Thursday night, which resulted in the arrest of 12 Palestinians from different parts of the occupied West Bank, including Jarrar and Palestinian writer Ali Jaradat," spokeswoman Amani Sardana told AFP.
Jaradat is known for belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The club did not specify the political affiliation of the remaining detainees.
"The occupation forces arrested my mother, Khaleda Jarrar, from our house in Ramallah," Jaffa wrote on its Facebook account.
"My mother was arrested at 3 am (Jerusalem time). The Israeli occupation forces raided our house with about 70 soldiers and about 12 military vehicles," she said in her Arabic and English leaflet.
The PLO demanded that Israel immediately release Jarrar.
"We demand the immediate release of Sister Khaleda Jarrar, one of the leaders of Palestinian political, social and women's work," Saeb Erekat, secretary of the organization's executive committee, wrote on his Twitter account.
Erekat called on the international community to "pressure the Israeli government to release her immediately," stressing that her arrest "is a new kidnapping by the Israeli occupation authority."
In a press statement, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) condemned the Israeli army's "massive arrests of its leaders, including Jarrar, including dozens of its cadres in different parts of the West Bank.
The Front blamed Israel for the life of Jarrar and several of its detained leaders who are suffering from difficult health conditions, accusing Israel of trying to "remove effective and radical national leaders from the Palestinian scene in order to create the appropriate environment to reproduce the same destructive settlement approach."
For its part, condemned the member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Hanan Ashrawi the arrest of MP Jarrar.
"We strongly condemn the night raids carried out by the Israeli occupation forces on Ramallah, Bethlehem and other Palestinian cities and the arrest of several activists," Ashrawi said in a statement.
"These campaigns are aimed at terrorizing the entire Palestinian people, and the kidnapping of activists, writers and official representatives is no less than illegal kidnapping."
Khaleda Jarrar, 56, has been arrested several times, most recently on July 2, 2017, for belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The Israeli authorities released her in February after an administrative detention without trial lasted for 20 months on charges of being linked to a "banned organization," according to the Israeli Prison Service.
