Hamas terrorists in Gaza have arrested the other terrorists who launched a rocket at Israel yesterday, according to a report on Israel Radio.
The report quoted a senior Israeli official who said that Hamas was warned that if they didn’t take action against those who fired the rockets, the IDF would take action for them.
Hamas reportedly responded that they were interested in maintaining the ceasefire, and subsequently arrested those responsible for launching the rocket – presumably to release them later, a technique perfected under Yasser Arafat.
It would be amusing if the Palestinian Authority used this opportunity to turn the tables around, and accuse Hamas of collusion with Israel.
Still, it appears that deterrence does work, at least for now.
