A Palestinian suicide bomber who may have sneaked into Israel from the Egyptian Sinai blew himself up at a shopping center in this southern desert town on Monday, killing an Israeli woman and wounding 11 other Israelis, emergency services officials said.A second attacker with him failed to detonate his explosives belt and was shot dead by a police officer at the scene.
The bombing broke a year of relative calm in Israel, and was the first in Dimona. The countryÂ’s last suicide attack came in late January 2007, when three Israelis were killed in the southern city of Eilat.
In Gaza, Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a militia loosely affiliated with the mainstream Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had been carried out in conjunction with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and a previously unknown group calling itself the National Resistance Companies.
The militant groups identified the two attackers as Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip, which is currently controlled by the militant Islamic group Hamas.
In other words, they knocked down the border wall into Egypt so that they could get their terrorists out, not for any humanitarian reason. They sent murderers to target civilians. Is it any wonder that the Israelis want the borders closed and the Egyptians don't want to take responsibility for Gaza? They know that nothing good comes from Gaza, only more terrorism.
And why send two homicide bombers on this mission? So that the second bomber could take out the first responders when the rescue workers and emergency personnel arrived. That indicates an intentional and fundamental disregard for international law and basic notions of human decency.
And for those who argue that "humanitarian aid" should be allowed into Gaza, I say "Bullshit!" As long as the Palestinians in Gaza allow the terrorist groups free rein, I don't view any of them as human beings worthy of charity -- or even a charitable thought.
