A female suicide bomber blew herself up early Wednesday at one of the entrances to Gaza Strip's main Erez crossing terminal to Israel, killing four Israelis and injuring 12, five of them in critical condition.
The sharp explosion ripped through a building at the terminal entrance to the Gaza Strip Wednesday.
A senior Fatah official said the object of the bombing was to prompt Israel to declare a closure over the Gaza Strip and cut off access to jobs within Israel, measures that act to boost grass-roots Palestinian support for Hamas and other militant movements.
The terminal, where thousands of Palestinian workers go out to work within the Jewish state during the day, was one of the last remaining expressions of official cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Further PROOF that the Palestinians must be walled in.

Four More Casualties in Another Palestinian Terror Bombing

Four Israelis were killed, another is in very critical condition, and 6-10 more are wounded, following a suicide terrorist bombing at the Erez Crossing in Gaza around 9:30 this morning. The explosion shook the entire building in which the many thousands of Arab workers from Gaza are checked and cross daily into pre-'67 Israel.
The blast caused the roof to collapse at the point at which Israeli soldiers and security personnel check the incoming Arabs for explosives and weapons. Before arriving at this point, the Arabs must pass through a "sleeve" - and it is not yet perfectly clear how the female terrorist murderer was able to arrive at the checkpoint without having been discovered. It is know, however, that the terrorists take advantage of, and blend into, the thousands of arriving workers at the checkpoint.
Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz said just yesterday that he is in favor of additional measures to relax restrictions for the PA population. He addressed representatives of foreign organizations providing aid to PA residents. Following this morning's fatal attack, however, it is clear that the restrictions will be tightened, and a closure on Gaza will be re-imposed.
The two murderous attacks of last night (see below) and this morning are only part of a wave of Palestinian terrorism that has engulfed Judea and Samaria in the past day. Only minutes before last night's murder, a similar ambush shooting attack was perpetrated several kilometers away, near Nachaliel; no one was hurt... Earlier in the day, a bus was targeted with a firebomb near Tapuach and a vehicle was hit by terrorist gunfire near Shechem; no one was hurt...
IDF soldiers were targeted north of Shechem, near Gadid in Gush Katif, at Tarmit in southern Gaza, and elsewhere... An armed terrorist was shot dead by IDF troops near in southern Gaza... Two mortar shells landed in the Nvei Dekalim area in southern Gush Katif yesterday morning and this morning; no one was hurt...

I heard that too. And it is totally, completely beyond the realm of my comprehension how any mother could simply behave that way.
About the only thing I can figure is that hatred must have run so deep within her, that the love of her children couldn't counteract it.
We haven't heard about the father of her two kids. It's possible that blowing herself up was preferable to going home to her Palestinian spouse. I wonder how she'd have liked it if some Israeli woman had bombed her little kids? But that would be different, of course.
Her Hamas trainers have to proud, sitting back in safety and sending a moron like that out. Fox showed the pre-bombing requisite videotape she'd made, and a more self-righteous, proud and ugly POS would be hard to find.
It reminds me of what the female drill sergeants said to the female soldier trainiees, as if, in basic training. "There are over 2 miles of d*cks on this post and for the next 7 weeks you aren't going to see one of em".
