The Palestinian officials who informed Ma'an of the arrests claimed the Hamas cell was based in Nablus with a support network stretching throughout the northern part of the West Bank. They said that the PA forces had raided the group's headquarters in Nablus, confiscating weapons and cash belonging to the men.
PA officials alleged that the terror cell members had also planned to kidnap Israeli West Bank residents and assassinate the Palestinian governor of the West Bank city of Nablus
Ma'an reported that a booby-trapped car intended to be used in a suicide bombing was also found in the raid.

They were detained not because they planned to kill Jews but because they planned to undermine the PA. They may both hate Israel but there is no love lost between Hamas and Fatah.
