Suicide Bomber Hits Israeli Mall

Filed under: Terrorism by Chad at 11:36 am UTC

A suicide bomber struck an Israeli shopping mall today killing two and injuring 30.

A suicide bomber blew himself up near a crowded shopping mall in the seaside city of Netanya on Tuesday, killing himself and two others. Police said about 30 people were wounded, two seriously.

Initial reports said the bomb went off just before 7 p.m. at the entrance to the mall. However, Israel radio stations said the bomber struck at a nearby intersection.

As USA Today reports, this mall has been the scene of other terrorist attacks before. What effect will this have on the cease-fire? More importantly however, is there any cease-fire considering Palestinian terrorist groups have not abided by it?

Update:
According to CNN, Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility for the attack and a witness tells of the suicide bomber walking up to a group of four teenage girls before detonating the explosives. Link to come when they write a story of these revelations.

Is there any chance someone has links of videos regarding the blast?

May God bless the victims.

David, I find your pushing your own search engine during a terrorist attack to be abhorrent. Surely this was not your intention and I’ve edited your comment out to not boost your own site. The link is still there, but not your catchphrase.

On the video for any Islamic Jihad terrorist attack and all terrorist attacks in Israel. They are very few and far between considering no such videos are typically ever made. Palestinian terrorists do not have the media saavy that other terrorist groups have.

No problem for the link. You’re right as it was definitely not my intention.

Nice site though by the way, David. If by chance a video is released of this attack, though that is very doubtful, I’ll let you know.
