Hamas has released some 150 Fatah members, including a senior leader, who were arrested last month in the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip.
The group included Abdallah Abu Samhadana, a senior member of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah movement which was forced out of Gaza when Hamas seized power in June 2007. A Fatah official said that another 150 of their members were still in Hamas prisons. They were arrested following the July 25 bombing that killed five senior Hamas fighters and a girl.
