Three people were killed and two others were critically wounded Monday morning in an suicide bombing attack that rocked a shopping area located in Eilat’s Izidor neighborhood.It wouldn't surprise me in the least to discover that all three groups pooled resources to make this horrendous event happen.
Police confirmed that a suicide bomber blew himself up in a bakery in the neighborhood that was bustling with shoppers at the time, dispelling earlier reports that the blast was caused by a gas cylinder.
Three Palestinian groups, the Islamic Jihad, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Fatah's military wing - as well as the previously unknown 'Army of the Believers,' carried out the attack, a Palestinian official who refused to be identified told Ynet.
This suicide bombing represents the first successful attempt to kill Israelis via suicide bombing in 8 months or so but it is by no means signals a “return” to death via suicide bomber. The Palestinians have never stopped sending in their bombers and so there can be no return until there is an end.
It is only the first attempt in 8 months or so which has successfully harmed more than just the bomber. According to the Israel Resource Review the Israeli security forces stopped over 187 suicide bombing attacks against Israel in 2006. Not quite the “hudna” you probably thought it was.
