Israel arrests 19 in W Bank raids

Nineteen suspected Palestinian militants were arrested by Israeli troops in overnight raids in the West Bank, the Israeli military has said.

Seven members of Hamas, which won last month's elections, were arrested with an Islamic Jihad activist in Hebron.

Meanwhile, six Fatah members were arrested in Nablus, two Islamic Jihad members in Qalqilya, and one Fatah-Tanzim member in Ramallah.

Israeli raids on Monday resulted in 18 other Palestinians being detained.
