Hamas Threatens to Increase Attacks; Israel to Indict Arrested Hamas Officials

Hamas also rejected an appeal by Mahmoud Abbas to stop firing Kassam rockets at Israel. According to Israeli security officials, the arrests were intended to put additional pressure on Hamas and send a clear message that Israel would target all of the movement's officials until the Kassam rocket attacks on southern Israel ceased.
