Hamas Becomes Directly Involved In Attacks

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel has determined that the Hamas regime was directly
involved in attacks against the Jewish state.
A report by a government-sponsored intelligence center asserted that the
Hamas regime has raised its profile in the latest Palestinian offensive
against Israel. The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center said Hamas
has for the first time become directly involved in missile and mortar
strikes against Israel from the Gaza Strip.
"Another important facet of the recent escalation is that for the first
time, there is direct Hamas involvement in the rocket and mortar shell
fire," the report, titled "Significant Erosion of the Lull Arrangement in
the Gaza Strip," said. "Moreover, Hamas publicly claims responsibility, as
do the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the smaller organizations."
