GAZA, March 9 (UPI) -- Gaza's Hamas government has arrested 10 Palestinian militants for firing rockets at Israel, sources say.
The militants, belonging to the al-Quds Brigades, were taken into custody by Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, sources from the militant group Islamic Jihad told Ynetnews.com Monday.
The Israeli news service reported the al-Quds Brigades gunmen were arrested in the southern Gaza Strip, near Khan Younis, and that among the detainees was a senior Islamic Jihad field commander, who reportedly is the only detainee yet to be released.
The other nine were let go only after they allegedly were abused by Hamas officials and coerced into signing a statement declaring they would stop firing rockets at Israel, Ynetnews.com quoted the source as saying.
