Three people were killed and two others were critically wounded Monday morning in an suicide bombing attack that rocked a bakery in Eilat. Two Palestinian groups, the Islamic Jihad and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – the military wing of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah faction – claimed joint responsibility for the attack.
The bombing is the first to strike the southernmost resort city and the first to hit Eretz Yisroel since last April, when a suicide bomber blew himself up near Tel Aviv’s old bus station, killing eight people.
After initial investigations into the bombing, security forces believe that the terrorist originally intended to attack a crowded public area. They believe that he detonated in the bakery after local policemen began to approach him.

But since when is Eilat part of Eretz Yisroel? Didn’t this site have an article just the other day that Rav Elyashiv Shlita said that Eilat is part of Chutz La’aretz?
call it what is: it’s a “HOMICIDE” BOMBING, not suicide
It’s not Eretz Yisroel it’s Israel.
Who knows says-The terrorists didnt follow the psak from reb Elyashiv…they had a different posek.
Its interesting how these pathetic idiots blow themselves up in the hope and belief that they will be rewarded!
When are these nutjobs gonna realize that if this were in fact true, their superiors, who brainswash them with this NONSENSE, would be doing the same thing!!!!

Who knows& Yershaylimirkodesh:
Take out some time and educate the behamoes where the border starts and ends of ERETZ HAKODESH. They were looking for JEWS and they know that JEWS are found in the land of ISRAEL.
The reason for the bombing today::: is to abate the bloodiest fighting ever bt haters & haters in Gaza. They can try out the new ammo given by Olmert & Rice, to kill the real targets, “Jewish Neshamos”.
“Homicide bombing”? Way too clinical! It’s murder. How about this for a headline:
“PALESTINIANS BOMB EILAT:THREE ISRAELIS MURDERED, TWO MAIMED “?
lets see yes chutz laarets not chutz laaaretz what is the diffrence ertetz yisroel israel that is just splitting hairs what is the sad part is 3 dead yiden by terrorists and people are splitting hairs go figure
Bombers are looking for Jews & they don’t care if it’s in Israel or in Chut La’oretz.
That policeman gets a lot of credit + s’char for his courageous act. I don’t know if he was one of the victims, but he certainly saved many Yiddishe lives. I believe a similar incident occured during the bulk of the intifada, when a security guard at a restaurant pushed himself in front of the murderer, thus saving dozens of lives (I think he was killed though, Hashem Yerachem – and therefore went straight to Gan Eden as one of the “harugei malchus”.

The MURDER BOMBERS can find 4+million Jews in Israel, (the size of NewJersey) much more concentrated than in Chutz La’eretz. They dont want to waste the time, effort, or bomb unless it kills Jews.
