Security sources believe Dimona terrorists came from West Bank
New security estimates indicate Monday's suicide bombing may have originated in West Bank, not Gaza, despite earlier reports to the contrary. PA officials say terrorists' identity hasn't been ascertained yet

"An initial investigation by the IDF and the Shin Bet Monday revealed the possibility that the terrorists involved in the suicide bombing in Dimona this morning came from the West Bank, and not from Gaza as was reported earlier.

Reuters reported Monday evening that Hamas' armed wing claimed responsibility for the attack, and that a source in the organization said that the two Palestinians who died during the attack came from the West Bank city of Hebron, rather than from Gaza.

Hamas officials denied the reports.

While in the hours following the attack most security officials believed that the terrorists crossed to Egypt from the Gaza Strip and then infiltrated Israel through the breached southern border, it now appears that they might have entered Israel through the Mount Hebron area, which has not yet been sealed by the separation fence."
