– ISRAEL, DIMONA DOUBLE SUICIDE ATTACK

 

 

On 02/04/2008 at about 10:30, two suicide bombers from Gaza Strip, who managed to enter Egypt through the breached Rafah crossing in the last week and then infiltrated into Israel through the long, unprotected border between Israel and Egypt in Sinai arrived to the town of Dimona in Southern Israel.

One of the suicide bombers blew himself up in a local shopping center, killed 1 by passer and wounded 10 more. The second suicide bomber was, himself, wounded by the explosion. People around him managed to notice that he was wearing a suicide belt too.  A police officer shot the second suicide bomber dead before he activated his explosive belt.

Few hours later Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) took a joint responsibility on the attack in a press conference in Gaza. The two bombers were identified as residents of the Gaza Strip. One of them was identified as Luay Laghwan. The other bomber was named as Musa Arafat, 23.

ISRAELI intelligence believes now that two suicide bombers left Gaza to El-Arish in Sinai, Egypt, on 01/25/2008. The two terrorists where “mysteriously” killed somewhere between El-Arish and the ISRAELI border. Their operators, unaware of the development, when they heard the news from Dimona, they were sure it was their operation, took responsibility and managed to confuse all the media.

Finally the military wing of HAMASin Gaza took, on 02/05/2008 evening, full responsibility on the attack which was carried out by HAMAS operatives in Hebron. The two suicide bombers were identified by ISRAELI intelligence and HAMAS as Mahmud Harbawi and Shadi Srair, both from Hebron.   

Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades is the military wing of the Fatah loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and supposed to support the peace process with Israel. (See –Fatah Again )
