As De Facto Sovereign, Hamas Responsible for Attacks Against Israel

"Israel: 2 Palestinian Militants Are Killed," A8 (World Briefing), by The Associated Press

A more explanatory title would be desired, detailing that these militants were directly engaged in hostile activity, but at least the brief piece gets the context correct.

This was a further act of unbridled Palestinian aggression as operatives from Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine attempted to maim Israeli soldiers.

It is important to note that Hamas possesses "effective control" of Gaza, but is unwilling to prevent attacks against Israel, because, well, it supports "armed struggle" against Israel. As the de facto sovereign of Gaza, Hamas bears primary responsibility for these attacks.
