Israeli troops re-arrest Palestinian woman prisoner

Israeli troops on Thursday re-arrested a Palestinian woman who was one of hundreds of prisoners released in October under a swap deal with Israel, the military said. Haneh Shalabi was arrested in Burqin village near the northern West Bank town of Jenin, on suspicion that she \"posed a threat to the area\" an army spoksman told AFP. She was \"a global jihad-affiliated operative \" he said, adding that she \"violently attacked the soldiers who arrested her.\" He did not elaborate on Shalabi\'s alleged affiliations. On Tuesday, troops in the southern city of Hebron re-arrested another Palestinian, a member of the Islamist Hamas movement, who was also released under the swap agreement. Under terms of the October swap deal, Israel freed more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in a two-stage release in exchange for captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit who was snatched by Gaza-based militants in June 2006.
