Palestinian security says that lawmaker Mona Mansour and 19 other people with alleged ties to the Islamic group were arrested early Monday.

Israeli troops have in recent weeks raided Nablus almost nightly in a crackdown against the violently anti-Israel Hamas. The soldiers have closed down several institutions allegedly linked to Hamas.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said the Israeli operations seriously undermine his efforts to get Palestinians to support peace talks he is holding with Israel.
