Ma'an – Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigades on Friday accused Hamas forces of arresting their spokesperson, Aqil Ash-Sheikh Khalil, in Gaza City, a statement said. "Hamas-affiliated militias arrested Sheikh Khalil after watching him for a long time. They took him to the Al-Mashtal headquarters, which Hamas uses as a detention centre for keeping and torturing Fatah's members," the statement said.
Sheikh Khalil is the general commander of the Al-Aqsa Brigades in the Saftawi area of Gaza City and is 'wanted' by Israeli forces. Khalil is the second Al-Aqsa Brigades spokesperson to be arrested by Hamas in a month. Nasir Abu Fool, the spokesperson and general commander of the Al-Aqsa Brigades Yasser Arafat forces was seized a month ago. |
