Hamas has on Tuesday filed a complaint to the Central Elections Committee with detailed information on violations by the Palestinian Authority targeting Hamas candidates and candidates endorsed by the Movement.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that the documented violations included intimidation, summons or detentions, and even physical targeting of candidates and their properties with live shots or explosives.

He slammed what he said was a joint PA-Israeli campaign directed against Hamas-affiliated candidates that was most evident in the occupied city of Hebron.

He said that copies of the document were sent to the Palestinian factions and human rights organizations, calling on all groups to do everything in their capacity to put an end to such transgressions by the PA and its security apparatuses.
