Three of West Bank Hamas leaders were kidnapped Friday morning, by a group calling itself, "Al-Farouk Omar Bin El Khattab Group.

This kidnapping is the first public activity for this group, which has not mentioned any affiliation with any of the Palestinian political factions. The first two kidnapping victims were released after a few hours while the third is still in custody

The group said in a media statement, that the kidnappings were in response to what they called, Hamas' disrespect of Palestinian law. The group warned Hamas against further violations of the law.

Last week clashes erupted in Gaza when Hamas operatives opened fire on Palestinian Police who were attempting to arrest a Hamas leader. Three people including a police officer were killed and dozens were injured.
