RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Israeli police in the 1948 occupied Palestinian land rounded up 600 Palestinian workers from the West Bank for working in those lands without permit.

The Israeli radio said on Wednesday night that the border police launched a large-scale arrest campaign, and said that 8 of those arrested were wanted for interrogation while the rest were jailed for illegally residing in 1948 occupied Palestine.

Thousands of Palestinian workers head to the 1948 lands in search of jobs due to scarce work opportunities in the West Bank and worsening economic conditions.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli attorney general filed an indictment in Haifa against Islam Amin, a young man from Fredees village in the 1948 occupied Palestine, for alleged cooperation with Hamas in recruiting youth for the movement.

The indictment list said that Amin, 26, got to know a group of Hamas activists during his study in one of Al-Khalil universities back in 2008.

They invited him to share in various activities such as distributing aid to poor families, participating in demonstrations supportive of Hamas and opposing Israeli policies, and visiting liberated prisoners.

Hamas activists then asked Amin to recruit young men for the movement's armed wing, which he did, according to the indictment.

However, the attorney general said that a number of people apprehended for joining his "cell" were later acquitted.
