Hamas's military council voted this week to gradually renew attacks from Gaza, according to a report on Friday by Maariv/nrg. The report says the attacks would escalate, depending on Israel's reaction.

The first phase is to attack Israeli forces operating along the Gaza security fence. The escalation would be in the form of rocket fire. The attacks would be carried out by independent terrorist groups to relieve Hamas of the responsibility.

Since the end of Israel's Cast Lead counter-terror operation in December and January, Hamas has set up a massive system for launching rockets with better accuracy and more range. It has also installed a line of mines, booby-trapped tunnels and other explosive devices.
