Israeli forces have arrested Dalal and Fatima Al-Arouri, the sisters of Saleh Al-Arouri, the senior Hamas official killed in Beirut on January 2, Palestinian news agency Wafa reports, citing local sources.

The two sisters were among several people arrested during Israeli raids on towns in Ramallah and el-Bireh in the occupied West Bank that took place at dawn on Sunday, Wafa added.

Separately, in a video verified by Al Jazeera, the son of one of the two sisters said that Israeli forces who entered his home to arrest his mother, assaulted him and vandalised the house, as well as confiscating photographs of his uncle, Saleh Al-Arouri.
