''There was no immediate reaction from Hamas.''
It should be noted that the last peaceful atmosphere between Israel and the Gaza Strip was maintained after 11 days of tension and fighting in May last year. The fighting killed 126 people in Gaza and eight in Israel.
But last Wednesday, tensions flared again when, according to Israel, an Israeli citizen was wounded in a shootout with the Gaza Strip. In response, the Israeli army bombed tanks, injuring three Palestinians.
Since the ceasefire agreement between the two sides, five rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip, according to Israel, as reported by the Israeli military in its December 29 annual report.
