"These arrests are clear evidence that the security coordination between PA and Israel is still going on," Zuhri was quoted as saying in a statement by the Anadolu Agency.
Zuhri said that several Hamas members were arrested on Friday by Palestinian security agencies in the southern part of the West Bank, Hebron, as reported by Anadolu.
According to the agency, the PA said they would cut security ties with Israel following the death of Ziad Abu Ein, head of Palestinian Authority's protest group Committee to Resist Settlements and the Wall, during clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli troops in the West Bank on Wednesday.
Both sides have been exchanging information on security matters, meant to lead to the full withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The provisions for the ties between the sides are outlined in the interim agreements known as the Oslo Accords signed in Washington in the 1990s by the PA and Israel.
Hamas is an Islamist political and militant group that seeks to create an independent state of Palestine. It also wants Israel to withdraw from the Palestinian territories that it occupied after the 1967 war. The group also governs the Gaza Strip independently of the Palestinian Authority.
