Also some people make it sound like Hamas is protecting Israel, let's quote some recent articles.

Article published on the 26.03.2011:
Hamas and other Gaza militants oppose peace with Israel and have rained rockets and mortar fire down over the past week on Israeli communities across the border. No one has been killed, but the Israel Defense Forces have announced that it would be deploying the Iron Dome missile defense system in the coming days.

Two more rockets were fired Friday, once of which damaged an Israeli home in southern Israel in the West Negev, and the other fell in an open field. No one was hurt.
.
.
Violence escalated significantly last Saturday, when Gaza militants fired more than 50 mortar shells into southern Israel. Hamas has taken responsibility for only some of the shelling. Link:http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomac...sEnabled=false
