Well, this incident and this thread bring to mind a comment made by a political writer interviewed a while back on NPR (sorry--do not recall name).

In speaking of the Israeli policy of withholding the Tax collections from the Palestinian Authority they were creating a problem. The polikcy should be---his position---turn over the taxes with the proviso that should there be any violence on their (Hamas or others) part that ends it---no funds and retaliation follows.

Frankly---sounds like a good plan to me and this only proves that is what has to be done.   PLO condemns attack and Hamas relishes it.

Legitimate reason now for forcing them into bancruptcy if they do not stop and also condemn the actions of these bombers.   Hamas has not shown that is a legitimate governing body. Moreover, it has shown itself to be a legitimately elected Murder Inc.
