Israel considering expelling Hamas leaders from West Bank to Gaza | World news | The Guardian.

Breaking his silence on the kidnapping and the Israeli clampdown, Abbas issued a statement condemning “the series of events over the last week, beginning with the kidnapping of the three Israeli teens and ending with a series of Israeli violations”.

Although Israel has insisted Hamas was responsible, it has yet to provide any hard evidence linking the kidnapping to the group. In ominous remarks, the chief of Israel’s armed forces, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, said the military was preparing to expand its operations. [Emphasis – mine]

….An Israeli government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to Reuters, said Israel was looking to capitalise on the search by enforcing a wider clampdown on Hamas in the West Bank.
