Israel arrests senior Hamas lawmaker

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Israeli troops detained a senior Hamas legislator on Sunday, pushing forward with a crackdown on the Islamic militant group, Palestinian officials and relatives of the man said.
Troops surrounded the home of Mahmoud al-Ramahi, secretary-general of the parliament, in broad daylight and detained him, said his sister, Yaqeen.
Al-Ramahi had evaded arrest since Israel began its crackdown on Hamas officials following the June 25 abduction of an Israeli soldier by Hamas-linked militants in the Gaza Strip. Israel is now holding five Cabinet ministers and more than two dozen lawmakers.
The Israeli army had no immediate comment.

Hamas is finally paying the price for their terrorist tactics. I wonder if they will be be smart enough to leave Isreal alone now.
