Israeli sources confirmed the report and said a considerable number of similar armaments had probably already been transported through Sinai to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Islamist militant groups.

On Saturday, Hamas' armed wing held a press conference reiterating their intentions to continue their resistance against Israel.

Ahmed al-Jabari, the leader of the Izz a-din al-Qassam Brigades, said that Israel had two options – to leave Palestinian territories or face death.

Yes, just like the rethoric they were using right before operation Cast Lead.
Let's also remember that "Palestinian territories" mean also "Israel proper", for them.

I think the time is nearly ripe for a second operation in Gaza. No doubt that the HAMAS will fight a little more, this time, and that there will be more casualties in Israel than there has been in the first operation. But the result could be a significant and permanent dent in the Gaza Strip, such as reoccupying the frontier with Egypt to prevent any smuggling of new weapons from Iran.
