Deputy Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya claimed on Wednesday that after the Gazan terrorists launched rockets towards Israel at a range of more than 40 kilometers, Israel conveyed messages through mediators about its willingness to return to calm.
Speaking in an interview with a newspaper, al-Hayya said that things went out of control because of Israel's procrastination in implementing the understandings and because of its firing at demonstrators taking part in the “March of the Return” border riots.
