JERUSALEM — The Israeli army said Tuesday that it has arrested members of a Muslim fundamentalist group from the occupied Gaza Strip in connection with the killing of one Israeli soldier and the kidnaping of a second in February.
Those detained belonged to the outlawed Hamas fundamentalist movement, which backs the 23-month-old Palestinian uprising in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, army officials said. The disappearance of the two soldiers ignited anti-Arab protests in Israel.
