"Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip have arrested members of two radical Islamic groups who were behind a series of attacks on Internet cafes, hair salons, restaurants and hotels over the past year, sources close to Hamas revealed over the weekend.

The sources said members of Hamas's paramilitary Executive Force raided the homes of 12 men belonging to the Army of Islam and the Righteous Swords of Islam.....

At least 50 Internet cafes have been bombed over the past 18 months in the Gaza Strip. In addition, many hair salons and restaurants were set on fire or bombed by members of the two groups."
