The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has claimed to have arrested two sisters of slain Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri, who was killed in an airstrike in Beirut earlier this month.

In a statement on Sunday, the military said they were arrested in two separate raids in the West Bank.

Dalal al-Arouri (52) and Fatima al-Arouri (47) were taken into custody from Arura town and Al-Bireh city, respectively.

Without providing additional details, the IDF said they were arrested for “inciting terror against the State of Israel”.
