As Israel Arrests Palestinian Parliament and Hamas Leader, Will This Mean Fresh Trouble?

Here:

Israeli security forces detained Palestinian parliamentary speaker Aziz Dweik, a leader of the governing Hamas movement, in a raid on his West Bank home on Sunday, while an airstrike killed a Palestinian in the southern Gaza Strip, as Israel pressed its offensive against militants.
I believe it's very possible that this is going to end up causing Israel more trouble than if they had let the Palestinian stay loose. But, again, I've noted too many times that Israel is like many other of the Middle East nations in constantly taking action that creates a much greater problem (or problems) than the original one for which the action was taken to address.
