An Islamic suicide bomber 1)blew himself up in a vehicle near an Israeli 2)checkpoint in the Gaza Strip Monday. The attack is said to be the first in a series of "human bombs" that Palestinians have 3)vowed to 4)unleash on Israel, to avenge the death of an 11-year-old Palestinian boy.
The military wing of Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement, claimed responsibility for the explosion. No Israeli soldiers died in the incident. The Hamas operative 5)detonated explosives in the car he was driving near the Kissufim crossing in the Gaza Strip.
The latest violence comes a day after angry scenes in Gaza at the funeral of an 11-year Palestinian boy. He died in a crossfire, as Israeli soldiers fired back at Palestinian militants hurling 6)grenades at their outpost. Armed mourners fired shots into the air at the boy's funeral, as a masked man declared that Hamas had 10 suicide bombers ready to attack Israel.
In a separate incident, a 22-year-old Israeli soldier from an 7)elite undercover unit died Monday as a result of an overnight bombing near Hebron, in the West Bank. Another Israel soldier was lightly injured in the blast. A bomb exploded near their jeep as it 8)patrolled a road linking two Jewish settlements.
The latest violence threatens to derail the U.S. brokered Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire agreement, negotiated in the hope of ending almost 10 months of violence. At least 27 people have died since U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet drew up the 9)truce on June 13.
