Following an Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip that resulted in the death of eight Palestinians, Palestinians fired rockets towards the Israeli settlement of Sderot today, but no injuries were reported. This settlement has been targeted by multiple rocket attacks from Palestinians in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the extremist group Hamas announced that Israel would pay a heavy price for the arrest of Mohammad Taha, one of the founders of this movement. Taha was arrested early this morning during an operation in the Gaza Strip. A Hamas spokesperson stated that the arrest of Mohammad Taha dealt a significant blow to the organization, but this would not weaken Hamas's resolve to continue its attacks against Israel.
