According to the report, the men detained are residents of the cities Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.

Both Hamas' internal security agency and its Izzedine al-Qassam military wing are investigating the possibility that the order for the launch came from outside of Gaza.

The missile, which the Iron Dome system failed to intercept, hit a yeshiva in Sderot, which was empty at the time. The attack sparked an Israeli retaliation.

On Saturday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said that Hamas was investigation the rocket fire, and said that no other group would have been responsible for it.

Haniyeh told UN Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov at a meeting in Gaza that Hamas was "committed to the understandings reached as part of the cease-fire [with Israel]," and stressed that Hamas wanted the cease-fire to remain in place.
