dimona, as some people will know, is the town where their nuclear facility is.

just wondering about the recent cutting of the internet lines around the middle east and the speculation as to why ....

so is this incident a false flag, a direct threat near the nuclear facility or just an unrelated terrorist incident?

I am going to go with unrelated terrorist activity. I think something fairlly significant has to happen in Israel for me to think it is anything unusual. Bombings there are so frequent that it is tough to read anything into this one that only killed 3 people.

the story has changed again on the bbc webby ...

apparently its is now 2 suicide bombers and one woman killed. one of the bombers was shot dead before detonating the bomb.

Apparently there hasn't been a suicide bomb in Israel in over a year. I find the timing rather convenient, now Israel can show Egypt how important it is that they secure their border. I think that Israel is capable of staging something like this, as for the Palestinians it doesn't seem like great timing for them to do this while they have an opening at the Egyptian border?? Also there were two bombers, is this common? I always thought they went alone, and why did the second bomber wait until the cop got there before trying to blow himself up, I guess that cop was real lucky just running in there knowing there was an live bomber in there. I may be just becoming cynical about anything I hear about Israel but it just seems a bit off.

it does seem that they are purposely pushing the point of the bombers going through the egypt border breach..
are they (israel) gonna use that as an excuse to further close up the border and quite literally starve them out?
the original plan of cutting off water and electricity didnt work and now the only life line is (allegedly) involved in the first suicide bombing in a year.
interesting to see what comes of this.
