In the introductory paragraph of her article, Isabel Kershner permits Hamas to opine on the IDF's decision to arrest 10 of its leaders Wednesday, an opportunity that it unsurprisingly exploits to propagandize against Israel.
The arrests were "an attempt to put pressure on the organization after the collapse of negotiations for the release of a captive Israeli soldier, Cpl. Gilad Shalit," Hamas said.
Although IK allows for the Israeli military to explain the reason for the arrests, she returns to Hamas later in the article, quoting it directly. The statement adds nothing new, but it does reinforce Hamas' message for the reader.
