Mother of two kills four Israelis in suicide attack

A PALESTINIAN mother-of-two blew herself up yesterday at the main crossing point between Israel and the Gaza Strip, killing at least four Israelis and wounding seven other people.

It was believed to be the first time the Islamic militant group Hamas has sent a female suicide bomber, possibly signalling a change in tactics that could expand its anti-Israeli campaign.

Meanwhile, an Israeli soldier was charged for the April shooting of a British activist who was protesting Israeli operations in Gaza.
