Gaza residents handed out candies to children as part of a general celebration over the suicide bombing in Dimona Monday morning that killed at least one Israeli and left a second in life threatening condition. Fatah's Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades shared responsibility for the attack with another terrorist group, and Hamas praised them and urged more suicide bombings.

The celebrations came to an abrupt end when the IDF successfully targeted a vehicle with three terrorists, killing Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) spokesman Abu Saad and wounding two others.
