GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas' armed wing on Saturday claimed responsibility for killing seven Israelis during operations in 2010.

Further, the Al-Qassam Brigades said seven Israelis were injured by attacks launched by the group.

In a statement, the brigades said a total of nine Israelis had been killed by militants during the year.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed eight Al-Qassam Brigade leaders in 2010, five in the West Bank, two in Gaza and one abroad, the group said.

The militant wing said Palestinian Authority security forces had escalated a campaign to eliminate resistance, arresting and torturing the brigade's supporters.

The group further accused the PA of collaborating with Israel to assassinate four of its most prominent leaders in the West Bank, Ali As-Suweiti, Iyad Shelbaya, Nash'at Al-Karmi and Ma'mun An-Natsha.
