JERUSALEM - Palestinian militant group Hamas yesterday claimed responsibility for a suicide attack for the first time in more than three years, saying it dispatched the bombers who killed an Israeli woman in the southern desert town of Dimona this week.
After almost 24 hours of confusion over claims by other factions that the bombers came from Gaza through Egypt and into Israel, Hamas said its members had in fact travelled from the West Bank city of Hebron.
