Barak Accuses Gaza Brigades of Eilat Attack - Six Palestinians killed in Israeli raid

Defense Minister Ehud BarakZionist War Minister Ehud Barak considered on Thursday that the source of the so-called "combined terrorist attacks" that took place earlier near Eilat was the Gaza Strip.

"This is a serious terror attack that took place in several locations", Haaretz stated Barak saying during a situation assessment following the incident.

He further claimed, "The incident shows the weakening Egyptian grip on Sinai and the widening operation of terrorists there. The source of these terror acts is in Gaza and we will act against them with full force".

This comes after an armed operation targeting three "Israeli" machinaries near the occupied city of Eilat.

In further details of the three attacks conducted, Acca (Acre) Online reported that military sources clarified that the operation began when armed individuals in a civil car approached a tourism bus of an "Israeli" company, and started shooting at the Shikma crossroad, rue 12, 28 kilometers away from the occupied city of Eilat. Five "Israelis" were wounded due to this attack.

Sources added that those who carried out the operation escaped the scene, and while escaping, the armed individuals threw an anti-tank missile at another bus that was transporting "Israeli" soldiers; at a 20 kilometer distance from the first attack. Other five "Israeli" soldiers reported fatal injuries.

While the "Israeli" enemy started pursuing the armed brigade, the first was led into a place where an explosive device was installed. The device targeted and bombed a "special force" military vehicle. The "Israeli" military control later issued a statement banning the spread of the operation details, amid possibilities that elite special force troops would be dead due to this operation.
