Yesterday, there was this:
Yassin denies involvement in Wednesday's suicide attack
Then, today there was this:
Yassin orders Hamas to escalate attacks
Along with this threat:
Hamas: Erez female bomber is just the beginning

"She is not going to be the last (attacker) because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only on the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe," promised Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar.

Wednesday's attack was the first time that Hamas has dispatched a female suicide bomber to perpetrate an attack.

Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin said the use of female suicide bombers marks a change in the movement's strategy. "For the first time, Hamas used a female fighter and not a male fighter," he told reporters. "It is a new development in resistance against the enemy.... Resistance will escalate against this enemy until they leave our land and homeland."

Their "land and homeland"...Uh-huh.
Even though they've lost this land several times since 1948 in various wars and when they gained it back through "land for peace" deals like Camp David and Oslo, they've refused to uphold their end of the bargain.
The fence is really working, in spite of the fact that this woman splodeydope made it through--she was only able to activate her bomb belt in the Gaza Strip, instead of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem and to do that, she had to pretend that she was on crutches.
IOW, it's getting harder and harder for them to pull off suicide attacks inside the fence.
Good.
Sad that this mother of 2 young children was so blinded by jihadi hatred, though.
