Maybe not Hamas (it was Islamic Jihad), but it's hard to imagine peace talk with groups doing such a thing. Incidents of this kind are totally unacceptable. They also act against the interests of the population of the Gaza Strip, because aid workers and medical cases must pass through Erez. I would say they act only against the interests of the Palestinian population.  The militant Islamic Jihad group said it carried out the Erez operation in cooperation with the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah group, to avenge Israeli attacks on Palestinians.
Abu Ahmed, a spokesman for Islamic Jihad's armed wing, said the truck carried four tonnes of explosives. He identified the suicide bomber as 23-year-old Ibrahim Nasser from Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israeli and Gaza Strip residents living up to 30 km (18 miles) from the crossing reported hearing the blast.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said two other men involved in the attack were hit by missiles fired by an Israeli helicopter at their getaway vehicle. Islamic Jihad said the men had managed to leap from the vehicle before it was struck.
The spokeswoman said there were no Israeli casualties. |

They are all bloody fruitcakes in Gaza.. especially the citizens supporting them. As long as this keeps up, Israel will play hardball. ... It looks more and more like there will be no peace accord this year and maybe never. |

From a Jerusalem Post article about the attack: Truck bomber killed in failed attackBy YAAKOV KATZ AND HERB KEINON A potentially disastrous terror attack at the Erez Crossing into the Gaza Strip was averted on Thursday when a Palestinian suicide bomber driving a truck loaded with four tons of explosives tried ramming his way into Israel, killing himself but causing no other casualties.... Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack .. An Islamic Jihad spokesman, calling himself Abu Ahmad, said a 23-year-old terrorist drove the truck, targeting the Erez terminal. He described the attack as a "successful martyrdom operation."http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1211288141966&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull "A successful martyrdom operation"....The would-be terrorist dies, and no one else is hurt or injured... If that's what they're now calling a "successful martyrdom operation", I wish them many more similar "successes"... lol  |

As "martyrdom" is concerned it was succesful indeed. Note that killing yourself with 4 tons of explosive is nothing to brag about. |

Note that killing yourself with 4 tons of explosive is nothing to brag about. i guess it would have been worse for them, if he was just injured.  on a more serious note, just imagine what would have happened if that truck went off in Israel the truck carried four tonnes of explosives...Israeli and Gaza Strip residents living up to 30 km (18 miles) from the crossing reported hearing the blast. and this morning, an Hammas activist was killed in an occupational accident, while "working" with explosives, wounding 16 more people. |

I always said, muslims should stick with praying, loop-recitating the Quran verses, and not play with weapons or explosives.

In their mind, the jihadists completed their 'mission' and went to heaven to get their 72 virgins.  |

When they run out of virgins, WHAT THEN??... Farm animals... sheep, chicken, maybe a monkey or 2?? Eventually, due to lack of quality virgins and farm animals, they may have to resort to "used up hoes" |

Today another mortar attack on the fuel depot at the Gaza crossing. LinkSurprisingly the Hamas, able momentarily to keep their heads on their shoulders, denied involvement. The ministry condemns the targeting this morning of the fuel pipeline during the delivery of quantities of cooking gas into Gaza." but the jewel of the quote-of-day is: The ministry will try to formulate a united position with Palestinian factions to exclude crossings and the interests of the Palestinian people from the cycle of targets," |
