Suicide Bombing in Eilat Kills at Least Three
Jerusalem Post:
In the first suicide bombing to strike Israel’s southernmost city, a suicide bomber blew himself up in an Eilat bakery shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday morning, killing at least three people and injuring an unknown number of others…..
“Our assumption is that it’s not one bomber, and there might be more bombers in Eilat right now,” said Bruno Stein, Eilat’s police commander.
Three separate Palestinian militant groups have reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack: Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and a previously unknown group calling itself the Army of Believers.
Al-Aqsa MB is part of Fatah.
Islamic Jihad and Hamas have been working together.

These are the vicious, fiendish scum the international community expects Israel to negotiate and make peace with.
The problem is Laura, that for every suicide bombing there is another (or maybe .8 or 1.2) instance of Israel launching retalitory strikes. So the real issues of who is the more responsible form of power, and who deserves the world’s support gets lost in a sea of blood, which leads many to simply throw up their hands and equivocate between the two sides.
“Kills at Least Three”
This phrase sounds so apologetic. Isn’t it bad enough that three people were killed???
