Israeli troops overnight detained a Palestinian man among those freed from prison last year in exchange for the release of a captured Israeli soldier, Palestinian sources said yesterday.
The Israeli military confirmed that it had arrested the man, named by Palestinian security sources as Ayman Sharawna, from the village of Dura, south of the West Bank city of Hebron.
A military spokeswoman said, without elaborating, that he was arrested "on suspicion of activity that endangers the security of the area."
