Zionist regime's troops raided the city hall of the West Bank town of Nablus on Wednesday, confiscating five computers in what appears to be part of an ongoing crackdown on institutions the military believes are linked to Gaza-based government ,Hamas,.

Hafez Shaheen, Nablus' deputy mayor, said troops also raided six mosques and seized five buses belonging to schools close to Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza.

Nablus' mayor, Adli Yaish, is a Hamas politician who has been imprisoned by Israel.

The military had no immediate comment. But this week, troops have raided and shut down various Nablus facilities it says are linked to Hamas.

The raids might also be an Israeli effort to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Businesses planned a general strike Wednesday to protest the crackdown.
