Report: Hamas arrests Islamic Jihad terrorists firing at Israeli troops
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2009/07/report-hamas-arrests-islamic-jihad.htmlHamas seems to have a much greater interest in keeping the peace since Operation Cast Lead.
GAZA, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Hamas security forces on Saturday arrested two operatives who opened fire at Israeli troops in northeast Gaza city, sources said.
The sources said the two militants were members of the Islamic Jihad's military wing and one of them is wanted by Israel and had survived two attempted assassinations by the Israeli army.
"The arrests were conducted as the Islamic Jihad elements were firing mortar shells at Israeli forces that rolled near the border," the sources added.
There has been no reaction from Hamas' administration which controls the Gaza Strip. According to the sources, Hamas' security officers informed the two men that a ceasefire is underway and so they should not attack the Israeli forces.
A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel has not been officially announced though the two sides maintain a level of calmness since Israel ended its military operation in Gaza last January.
