The militants' actions brought the first violence since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. The historic pullout was seen as creating a new opportunity for peace.

Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres called Hamas "a wild organization" that "brought catastrophe upon their own people." The group is "a danger" to Palestinians and the region, he said.
