Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has denounced the suicide terrorist bombing in Dimona but coupled his announcement with a denunciation of the Israel army's counter terrorist action in Jenin. IDF forces Monday morning killed two terrorists in the city, which shares with Shechem the title of the "terrorist capital of Israel."

Terrorists belong to the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, which is the military wing of the Fatah party led by Abbas, have shared responsibility for the Dimona attack along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
