Palestine legal government security officials in Gaza on Sunday arrested the spokesman of a Fatah faction that claimed responsibility for a rocket attack on the Jewish sector in violation of a truce with Mahmoud Abbas through Egypt; which came into effect 19 June.

Mohammed Abu Irmana, the spokesman for the Al-Aqsa Brigades, was visiting relatives in the town of Rafah when he was detained, his brother Adham said.

Irmana, also known as Abu Qusai, was arrested because the armed group, which is linked to the Fatah party of global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas, said it was behind two rocket attacks on Thursday, his brother said.
