Hudna, We Hardly Knew Ye

Either Hamas's political leadership values its hold on parliamentary power, or it does not. Bet on the latter proposition since Haniyah, et al. have made it clear that they preferred life as oppositionists to Fatah, where responsibility for political failures could not be shoulded by them. If Hamas doesn't rein in its action squad, a la Sadr in Iraq, then it will become just another terrorist group again. The Nasrallah model doesn't work when you're in power:

Hamas’s military wing claimed to have fired 30 rockets and 70 mortar shells at Israel today. An Israeli Army spokesman said six rockets and eight mortars were launched over a period of about three hours in the early morning.

The army spokesman said that according to security assessments, Hamas had intended to carry out what he termed “a much larger terrorist attack” under the cover of the rocket fire, but was thwarted by the army’s quick response. Israeli forces fired from the air into open areas from where the rockets had been fired.
