Four rockets hit the region Wednesday night. Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said it had fired one of them. The rocket was fired as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh met to try and come up with a cease-fire plan with Israel.

Early Thursday, Israeli forces arrested 33 Hamas officials in the West Bank.
