Palestinian Suicide Bombers Strike Again

For the first time in a long time, Palestinian terrorists managed to carry off a suicide bombing, striking at the Israeli city of Dimona in the Negev Desert and killing at least one Israeli woman. I'd give dollars to donuts that the terrorists managed to enter Israel via the porous Egypt-Israel border.

And the responsible terrorist group? That would be Fatah, the same terrorist group that the US and Israel are betting on to make peace with Israel.

There was a second suicide bomber, but he was taken out by an alert Israeli security agent.

If there's yet another reason to cut off talks with the Palestinian terrorists, this is it. They have no intention of peace with Israel, and no matter how many concessions are demanded of Israel, they will settle for nothing less than the destruction of Israel. It is a fool's errand to think that the Palestinians will want peace with Israel in a two-state solution.

Israel retaking the Philadelphi corridor makes sense since Egypt has shown absolutely no capability of controlling its own border with Gaza.

UPDATE:
The Palestinians are celebrating the murder of innocent Israeli civilians with dancing and passing out candies. This is a group with whom Israel can make peace?

UPDATE:
Later reports do indicate that the pair of suicide bombers were Gazans who left Gaza via the Hamas imposed breaches in the security fence, transited through Egypt, and crossed into Israel to carry out their suicide bombing raids.

In Gaza, the 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.

The bomber who blew himself up, Louai al-Aghwani, 21, of Gaza City, was said by his family to have been a Fatah supporter. The second attacker was said to be Musa Arafat, 23, a Popular Front activist from a village near Khan Yunis in the south of the strip. He is not known to be any relation of the late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat.

The declared involvement of the Brigades attests to the fractured nature of Fatah, whose West Bank-based leaders are in peace talks with Israel. Militants in the group, particularly in Gaza, do not necessarily take instructions from Mr. Abbas, who says he opposes suicide attacks and firing rockets into Israel.

In a statement on Monday, the Abbas-led Palestinian Authority condemned the Dimona attack.

Abbas is a worm who will say whatever the diplomats want to hear at the moment, all the while allowing his thugs to continue their deadly work. There is no difference between military and political wings of the terrorist groups - they all answer to Abbas and his minions.

Egypt has been arresting Palestinians carrying suicide vests, which indicates that the threat is far from over. Egypt's failure to control its border will mean Israelis die.

Hamas is claiming that the terrorists were from Hebron, and the Israeli press is suggesting uncertainty about the origin of the attack. Hamas is alternatively trying to blame Fatah for the attacks and trying to claim credit for the attacks. The sick thing is that all the claims for credit for the attack is to curry favor with the Islamists in Gaza and the West Bank. The terrorist leaders figure that they benefit from being seen as more capable of carrying out successful terror attacks against Israel.

Israeli ministers are calling for a security fence between Israel and the Sinai. Better late than never. How many more Israelis will die because the Palestinians consider it their birthright to kill Israelis at every opportunity using every means at their disposal? Hamas invaded Egypt and breached an internationally recognized border and promptly began terrorist operations in the Sinai to infiltrate into Israel, along with rearming their forces in Gaza.

Hot Air has more on the suicide bombing and that the al Qaeda TV network is claiming that the Israeli guard to took out the second suicide bomber was somehow committing murder of an unarmed man, despite the fact that the guy was a suicide bomber who had a bomb vest tied to his body that could go off at any moment and take out the medics who first responded to the scene and treated him as one of the many injured.
