According to a letter leaked out of prison on Thursday, a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, the van driver braked sharply several times, causing the lawmakers, whose hands and feet were tied, to slam against the walls and ceiling of the van.

The injured PLC members were MPs Mohammed Abu Tair, Nayef Al-Rejoub, Dr. Khalil Al-Rubaie, Dr. Azzam Salhab, and Dr. Mahmoud Al-Ramahi, the secretary of the PA legislature.

Injuries of Abu Tair and Rejoub were described as "moderate", and were hospitalized, but the three other parliamentarians were treated of light wounds they sustained.

More than 42 Palestinian lawmakers from Hamas Movement, including PLC speaker Dr. Aziz Dwaik, were kidnapped from their homes by the IOF troops since June, 2006.
