Hamas has acknowledged a resumption of firing rockets into civilian areas by launching dozens of such attacks into Israel on Saturday morning damaging a home and wounding two people.

Hamas' military wing claimed responsibility for firing 33 of the projectiles, marking the first time Hamas has acknowledged firing mortar shells into Israel since January 2009 at the end of the 22-day Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Although southern Israel is still routinely struck with rockets and mortar shells from Gaza, Hamas has blamed the attacks on rival militant groups operating in the territory.
Until Saturday, Hamas officials had said they opposed striking Israel, fearing such attacks might provoke a harsh response and saying they were not currently in the "Palestinian national interest." In some cases, Hamas had even tried to prevent other groups from launching rockets and firing mortars.
But the decision to resume mortar attacks may signal a shift in Hamas' strategy and the start of increased violence along the border.
The resumption of using terror by firing rockets into civilian areas should be condemned by all.
