Hamas has toned down its terrorist activities in Gaza... a senior IDF officer told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday.

Col. Ronen Cohen, deputy head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, said Hamas has focused its anti-Israel activity on firing mortars, mostly at military targets along the Gaza border.

But he warned that Hamas had strengthened its military forces in Gaza and that its ability to transfer information, documents and money in and out of the Strip via Egypt would grow, even though the border with Sinai was currently closed.
