Hamas tells Egypt rocket launch was ‘accident,’ promises probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas tells Egyptian security officials that the rocket attack north of Tel Aviv was an “accident.”
Palestinian media say Hamas is telling Egyptian intermediaries, in an apparent message to Israel, that it will launch an inquiry into the attack, and insists it did not give the order to carry it out.
Israeli officials, however, believe Hamas ordered the attack — which follows a similar rocket attack last week aimed at Tel Aviv — to test Israeli responses during the election campaign, according to Hebrew media reports.
