Dozens reported hurt in 3-stage terror attack near Eilat
A three-stage terrorist attack along Israels border with Egypt took place Thursday morning when terrorists opened fire at an Egged bus traveling on Road 12 near Eilat.Close to 10 passengers were wounded, including several in serious and moderate condition, and were evacuated to Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat. A number of soldiers were among the casualties. Several minutes later, a number of bombs went off next to an IDF patrol traveling along the border with Egypt. There were also reports of mortar fire from Egypt into Israel. The terrorists apparently then moved on to another spot and fired an anti-tank missile at another vehicle, injuring a number of passengers. ...On Sunday, the Egyptian Military launched a massive operation to capture terrorist cells operating in the Sinai. Only a paranoid would believe there's any connection between Egyptian Military's presence in Sinai and, way beyond Paleo's level of competence, attacks Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2011-08-18 |
